bought 2 x 12v spot lights which are also dimmers when you touch them
so turned fuse box light trip switch off
connected first light ok and it worked fine as just usual 3 wires out of ceiling (red live, black neutral and earth)
but on second light there were lots of wires comming out of the ceiling
the usual 3 (red, black and earth) but in addition to 4 reds, 4 blacks and 4 earths javascript:emoticon('')
so I just connected the usual 3 (red, black and earth) to the second light and tripped the fuse box switch back on ok
BUT when I turned the light switch on it popped and the fuse box trip for the lights tripped off
after this the fuse box trip switch for the lights would not allow me to switch it back on
so I connected the additonal 4 black and 4 earth to the usual black and earth (and left the 4 red unattached to anything) and then the fuse box trip for the lights would at least go back on
HOWEVER when I switch the kitchen light switch on - nothing happens - no lights no pop no nothing
I know I have blown something but don't know what - help
