I hope someone can help me
A ceiling pendant light fitting we have stopped working. It's on a dimmer switch.
Thought it was the bulb and tried a new one - not that
Took off the light fitting and with a circuit tester there is power to the outlet so (wrongly) deduced was the light fitting
Replaced light fitting - no joy
Tried another bulb - no joy
Then with circuit tester checked to see if power was coming through with light fitting attached - no joy
Checked again with light fitting detached - is power
Now puzzled
With circuit tester also checked whether circuit formed live to earth (yes) live to neutral (no) - not sure whether this is right or not - the earth at the switch is not connected
Any ideas?
Thanks for any input
