Hi

I cannot resolve a problem with a two way lighting circuit. There are two lights that should go on and off at the same time controlled by the two switches. One of the lights works fine the other does not work. There is however power going to the ceiling rose but the bulb does not light up. I have tried the obvious such as changing light fitting and bulb. Its as if the power to the light , while present, is not sufficient to light the bulb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you measuring around 230 - 240V at the fitting on the terminals to which the actual lamp is connected.If so then you have a faulty lamp/lampholder/flex or connection to these.
 
And how are you measuring that there is voltage there. Dont use a neon screwdriver - use a proper test device, like a multimeter/?
