Hi all.
I'm in the process of trying to add a new down light to our bedroom and I want to run it off the same switch as the only other ceiling light which is a pendant wired the old way as a 3 plate.
In my first attempt I thought I'd located the supply wire so i used a junction box to wire it in.
Now the original light stays on all the time while the new one works by the switch.
I think this means I have actually found the switch live cable and wired into that instead of the supply.
Having checked the switch, there is no neutral, only L1, C and E.
How can I get this to work please? I think I need to wire into the ceiling rose but not sure on the order.
Many thanks
