Hi all.
Changed a light fitting in my bedroom and ran across the following problem, hoping someone can help:
Not sure why but I have two sets of wires in this room. Live/neutral/Earth (Red/Black/green). The spare wire doesn't go anywhere I can see - i.e. only one switch for room, and no other rooms seem affected by this extra wire.
When I connected them all up 2 reds - brown and 2 blacks - blue it blew the fuse.
So tried again with one red - brown and one black - blue and the light stays permanently on.
Anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?
