Also that said when the 2 reds were connected the red was testing live and black dead with non contact.

Yes it was non contact away from any other wires, however as you mentioned this may not be accurate. Once again, Thankyou soo much for your help

It is now working The only thing I did notice is that the single black back to the switch is live when the switch is turned on so I will terminate that in an appropriate connector so it can’t touch anything in the roof if this sounds right. Don’t understand if it’s just in a loop at the...

Again, thanks for your time and patience. The original wiring with that single black cable running to the switch was a brand new home build in 2024 by presumably qualified tradespeople

Really appreciate your help, just curious if the single black was never used why it would have been connected with the neutral in the original bayonet and should it be left connected to the switch and terminated?

Or should it be like this?

I gather based on the original batten having the red conductor of the 3 core going into the loop diagonally opposite the earth it wasn’t providing power and just terminated in the loop Based on that the power is coming via the single red conductor from the switch as this was the only red...

Yes the batten works. The difference being the batten has 4 connectors and the new fitting has 3 wires. I have since posted a photo of the switch and how the old batten was wired against the new fitting to troubleshoot where I have gone wrong

Appreciate your help and it makes sense. Still not working and to try and simplify it I have attached a photo of the switch where the bottom switch controls the new light fixture. I have also drawn a diagram of where the wiring went of the original light batten holder and where it goes now via...

Hi, Can appreciate these photos are hard to see. What I can confirm is the batten is the same original batten that has always been there take from different sides

Ok, so basically keep all earth together, all neutral together but then separate out the 3 reds where the switched live and switch remain together but the live that was in the batten loop is just terminated with a connector and not connected to anything

Ok, so so the live should be terminated

Can someone tell me where I have gone wrong. When powered up the light flashes on and off. No loose wires but i suspect this is looped at the light and I have bypassed the switch by accident. Originally this was a batten fixture that had a loop connection, whereas the new light fitting does not...
