Hello All,
Right, im trying to replace the ceiling roses for the upstairs lights.
Set up as follows
3 Bedrooms
Bathroom
Landing area
Master bedroom, Bathroom and landing all have just one live wire and one live neutral wire (all old colours: black and red)
2 other bedrooms have loop wiring (all old colours; black and red)
Replaced ceiling rose on landing fine.
Replaced ceiling rose in spare bedroom and noted 3 black wires and 4 red wires. Paired red and black and noted which was the switch cable (used a multimeter to confirm the switch)
Wired rose as advised and now none of the other lights are working upstairs apart from the one in the one spare bedroom.
Checked fuse box and all fuses are ok.
Checked other wiring and they dont appear to be in a circuit and multimeter not picking up a circuit.
What is the best way to find out where the circuit is broken? The wiring is in the lift (attic) however being a total newbie to loop wiring how does one go about checking the loop wiring and or replacing cabling?
Thanks
