I removed he ceiling rose from the upstairs hallway but did not make not of where the wires went. Basically this light operates off of two switches one in the hallway on the ground floor and one on the second floor. This light was operating fine until I put up the ceiling light.
in the loft area I have one cable coming from a junction box, and a cable coming from what I believe to be the switch to the upstairs switch. These are the only cables that were attached to the ceiling rose along with the original light.
Since the original ceiling rose was broken on removal I purchase a new one and have attached the ceiling light as follows:
Ceiling Light
Live > 1st Live terminal
Neutral > Neutral
Earth > Earth, neutral, and earth
Cable from switch I think?
Live > 1st Loop terminal
Neutral> 2nd Live terminal
Earth > Earth
Cable from Junction box
Live >2nd Loop terminal
Neutral >2nd Neutral terminal
Earth > Earth
there are two bedrooms on the 1st floor only and they run on the same circuit as the hallway light. when I switch on the electric the switches for the hallway does not work, but if I try the switch for the 1st and 2nd bedroom they switch the hallway light on and off.
If I wire the Junction box cable so that its Neutral cable goes to the 2nd Live terminal, and the switch cable to the loop and neutral terminals I get the same result.
If I just put both neutral wires from the Junction box and the cable that I believe to be the switch into the neutral terminals, the two live wires still in the loop terminals and earth to earth - leaving the live terminals with only the ceiling light live going to it - the lights in the 2 bedrooms are operational but the ceiling light does not work at all from down stairs or upstairs.
I have ran out of ideas on how I can get this circuit to work so that all lights are operations off their respective switches
