Have been trying to rig up 2 halogen wall lights
Tech info
operational voltage 230-240v ~50hz
bulb 50w GU10
maximum nominal output 1x50w
protection catagory 1
Was simply trying to rig 2 of these to a switch and then to a plug into a socket, was told by a chap to use 3 core 1.5mm white cable, as the lights need earthing.
Anyway wired with a 3amp fuse in the plug it came on but when I tried the switch, it switched it off but not on again and the fuse had gone in the plug. Can someone shed light (no pun indended) on this problem, cheers me dears.
Have been told that I could be wiring the switch across the supply, tho having little knowledge of electrics I'm not sure what that means, was also told I need a 6amp double pole inline switch, and was wondering if all the above is correct if someone could knock up a drawing or give me a web link to one. This is for a awkward neighbour who is too tight to pay an electrician to do it, and as she is so demanding am desperate to sort this so I can get out of there before she finds another 101 jobs for me to do for nothing, please help one seriously frazzled bod, I thankyou
