Hey all,
Hope this is a simple question / answer.
I have foolishly removed a light fixing without recording what goes where. Ill try to explain.
light switch at top and bottom of stairs which control(ed) both lights.
Top light just has black, red and earth and has been replaced and works fine with both switches.
bottom light has 2red, 2 earth, 2 black and a yellow. Initially wired red-red, black-black etc leaving yellow out and light worked but does not switch on and off.
I know there has been a loop set up but cannot understand which is now live?!
is there a standard wiring setup?
thanks in advance and ill answer questions if i can.
PS:I do have a meter but not sure what id be doing with it so even a guide to that may help.
