Odd lighting wiring

[JohnW2]

According to the wiring diagram that fan only has L and N terminals.

Indeed, and that's essentially what we were told early on ...

.... It's not a timer fan so only has L and N.

So switching those two over would have had no effect.

I think you have misunderstood, particularly given that the 'swapping' that the OP undertook did 'have an effect'...

As I understand it, he has a 3-core cable(red/blue/yellow) between ceiling rose and fan, with the red being the L and the yellow being the S?L (and blue the neutral) at the rose. At the fan, it would seem that the blue and red were originally connected to the fan (hence it was on permanently (with yellow not connected to anything). My understanding that the OP then 'switched' the red and yellow (so that the fan then got N and S/L, and the red was then connected to nothing), which restored the desired functionality.

Is that not the case?

Kind Regards, John

Ah ok

In the fan, simply because that was easier. Should I have done it in the ceiling rose?

No that's fine,

It's simply that you wrote this:

Cheers I switched those two wires in the fan unit

implying the red and the yellow wires were terminated in

... I switched SL and L

in the fan

All of which takes me straight back to my early incorrect interpretation of the situation.

Anyway Im glad you've sorted the fan running 24/7, I'd have hoped it would dim the LED though.
