Just double checked on a plug socket which I know works - making sure they were touching the metal. Still nothing. I think we will call an electrician!

Don't have a picture of our multimeter as I have put it away now. Touching the copper of the wires coming out of the wall. The same as in this pic:

We thought that might be the problem so we disconnected the block and tested it straight on the copper of the wires, still -0.

Tried, but the multimeter we got just shows 0 for some reason - power is definitely on and wall switch on. Multimeter is set up correctly according to the instructions and tutorials we watched! Not sure if it is defective - it was only cheap from Amazon. Tried it on a battery in DC mode - worked...

Hi Terry, no it's not on a dimmer switch.

Sorry I might be being dense but I'm not sure what you mean? The ceiling lights and kitchen cupboard lights are on a different circuit. Basically I have tried another light wired up the same under the cupboard and that worked, I have tried the cupboard light wired into another place and it...

Multimeter should be coming this afternoon so I will give that a go after watching a few videos as you have suggested. This is the one I have ordered: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beizkna-Multimeter-Continuity-Resistance-Electrical/dp/B07W3T2542/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 So I...

Hi I have ordered a multimeter as people have suggested, it's arriving tomorrow. I don't think it is anything wrong with the light switch as I have tried another light where the cabinet lighting will go and that worked fine. I probably shouldn't have made that assumption, however it did work...

So the wall and pendant light I changed in the living room are on a different circuit to the kitchen cupboard lights. There are ceiling lights in the kitchen and upstairs on the same circuit from the fuse box but none of those have been changed.

I have double checked the connectors again, no change.

Thanks for your replies. Yes kitchen lights worked in the living room, living room lights worked in the kitchen. I did double check a few times to make sure the connections were proper, I can double check again shortly.

These are the lights: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/KBUCLED13WW.html There were no lights there when we moved in, just the wires hanging out of the walls. Wall switch goes directly to the lights, no transformer. There is another identical one of these in the kitchen on the other...

Ok! The lights are connected to a wall switch - have turned that off and on. Pen thing shows higher power when on and lower when the wall switch is off. What photo's would be helpful? How would I find out the voltage?

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on installing under cabinet kitchen lights. We have recently bought a maisonette, a lot of the lights were not working - I have replaced 6 lights in the living room which all work. We have been left with unsightly wiring and connector blocks underneath the...
