Pull Cord Switch Connections?

[HiFly]

Have just bought one of these and trying to add in a light and pull switch into a small cupboard (ex water tank / airing cupboard - no water/electrics in there - just turning it into store cupboard).

I first just extended the lighting ringmain by Junction Box > Bulb >Switch and back to Junction box - L to L, N to N and G to G = Had power to the bulb but switch not working i.e. bulb constantly on. So knew that I had made an error in understanding the circuit diagrams - even though I went carefully and slowly....

The pull cord switch, as well as a G, has L & N connections twice, one set marked Supply and aother marked Load.

So - OK so took out all wires for bulb/switch from Junction box and started again.

Have followed the instructions
http://www.diynot.com/pages/el/el032.php
to create a circuit loop > From 30A Junction box > Live to Live @ Bulb, N @ Bulb to Chock Blox (housed) to that on to L at Switch (Supply) N at Switch back to Junction Box Neutral.

Didn't blow the fuse, but no power @ Bulb, tried switch a few times...no luck. Used electrical screwdriver to establish if there is any power in the loop - nope! Checked that all connections have made contact.


Next Step??

You need to take the feed from the junction box and put the live conductor to Supply L and the neutral conductor to Supply N. Sleeve the bare earth conductors with green + yellow sleeving and put that in the earth terminal.

Then run another cable from the Load terminals to the light fitting.

Davy - I would like to say THANK YOU - just did as you wrote above - worked perfectly!!

Much appreciated and worry factor down 100%......having spent 6 hours looking at circuit diagrams (and especially confusing where the part manufacturers ones - 1 part by itself made sense but when putting it together not so.....THANKS AGAIN DAVY.

Thanks also to the site/forums for sound advice and tips.
