Hi all, glad i have found this site, Just fitted a new ceiling light fitting, however i now am unable to turn my light off, non of the switches work and the only way i am able to turn light off is to turn main fuse off.
 
Youve wired a permanent feed into the fitting instead of the switchline. Both red so you'll have to id this first.
 
Thanks for the quick reply, these are the wires i have, should i be swapping the left hand red wire for the one with the tape around ?

edit: photo removed as it was huuuuuuge
 
cant see the tape wrapped around but yes the brown of your fitting goes to one of the reds the other two together on a block. brown would normally go to the red with the tape yes
 
Thank you for your help, all now working correctly, and just in time before the mrs comes home from work, she will be non the wiser lol
