Hello, this is a little bit of a hard one to explain, but hope someone can help.
I live on the ground floor in a block of converted flats, I have my own entrance, and the 3 flats above have there own going upstairs. Iv found out the stair lights are linked into my consumer unit, and one of the lights on the stairs isn't working, i don't mind so much as i have no need for them.
However, while discovering they were on my supply, I turned the fuse off at the consumer unit and as expected all of the lights went out, but, the light that was out previously turned its self on? It was also still on when I turned of my whole supply at the meter, when I put both switches back on, the other lights came on, and the single light went off again,
Does anyone know what could be the reason? Could it be linked up to another flat, and does this mean they could be using my electricity?
Thanks guys,
J
