    Should I call an electrician?

    ok wires are as follows from the ceiling there is one cable with one set of red, black and green cables. These then connect to the connection point inside the rose (as per your diagram) where 4 brown, 4 green and 4 blue wires come out feeding each of the 4 lights. I'm not getting any...

    Should I call an electrician?

    ok...if I get 0 reading is that a good or bad thing? I have turned off the MCB so I'm guessing there would be no power anyway??

    Should I call an electrician?

    the lights look something like this http://i21.ebayimg.com/02/i/03/89/82/7a_1_b.JPG There is one point into the ceiling. When I hit the end light I may have done something in the central point. No idea if there are junction boxes as the ceiling is not accessible

    Should I call an electrician?

    Should I call an electrician?

    First post so please forgive my ignorance! I just tripped my lighting ring and have no idea what to do next. I just tried to hit a moth and accidently hit the lights in my kitchen resulting in a black out. Normally I would not be worried as the lights are connected to a MCB which resetting...
