2 lights, one switch

[Robotmannick]

Hiya chaps,

I have recently redecorated and removed my wall lights to paint behind them etc. Now I can't get them working again! I have one switch to operate two wall lights.

I've got a diagram which says:

Supply red connects to switch red and 2nd light supply red.
Supply black connects to 1st light blue.
Switch black connects to 1st light brown and 2nd light supply black.
G/Y switch and supply connect to G/Y on 1st light.

The second light is connected black supply - blue, red supply - brown, g/y/ - g/y.

All is fine until I flick the switch to turn the lights on and the consumer unit trips. What am I doing wrong? Any pointers please?

Cheers,

Nick

sounds like Switch black connects to 1st light brown and 2nd light supply black.

should be

Switch black connects to 1st light brown and 2nd light supply RED.
the balck should go the first lights black.

a dawing helps better than words.

dissconect the 2nd light does 1 st light work ok?

just added drawing below for you
