I have the same problem as here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=109073 , the light switch wont work (will not switch off), i have two cables coming out the ceiling, each with a red, black end earth, on the transformer is 4 block connector, L/N/E, i connected the earths together, the two reds together in the empty connector, one black to the blue and one black to the brown, the two black wires are exactly that, black!! no red stripe, so i tried it this way once, lights would not switch off, then again after swapping the two black wires, same result.

I have uploaded photos and have a Btech National in mechanical, electronic, electrical engineering, shame on me!!! Any advive would be greatly apprieciated, regards.
