Hello there. I hope you can help me with this problem.
The loft light only turns on when I have the bathroom light switched on. I cut into the bathroom lighting cable (last in line) and connected into a 4 way junction box. (colour matching the wires, ie earth to earth and so on).
I then brought in the new cable from the new switch and connected into the same junction box, earth to the other earths, live to lives...the neutral (sheathing in brown) to the totally seperate terminal where i attached the live of the spur to the new loft light. The spur cable to the loft light then being wired earth to earths and neutral to other neutrals).
I think the cause of the problem is that the lighting cable i cut into from the bathroom ceiling rose runs to the bathroom light switch (switch lived side).
Its not too much of a problem more of a nuisance but is there a way I can remedy this so the I dont have to turn the bathroom light on to get the loft light switch to power the loft light?
Thanks :0)
