No power through ceiling rose

The wiring in those photos is horrendous. A little knowledge us a dangerous thing.

We've gone over this haven't we.
The wiring in those photo's was quick, temporary and connected to DC, not mains

But as long as they're willing to learn, thats all that matters.
Its always a difficult moment having to fire someone who is unwilling to improve their skills despite multiple opportunities and support; from my perspective as the team manager, sometimes it can really hurt, as though I've somehow let them down.

Willingness to learn is all well and good, but I would say listening skills and a decent teacher are more important.

DC ?

Sadly in my industry, you're on your own - once you have your maths or economics degree that is.
Afterwards it's self-tuition and a mixture of online and live-sat exams

Earlier you said it was connected via an inverter? This implies that it was connected to AC at mains voltage supplied via an inverter from a DC source.

In which case that would be mains voltage on those incredibly poor connections exposing you to unnecessary risk.

Reading this thread it seems you have gone through a lot of hassle and created a mountain out of a molehill for the sake of a cheap and nasty lampholder.

A little bit of forethought and you could have avoided the whole episode by sourcing something a bit better quality in the first place.

How is it connected to dc? Temporary or not it should be done properly and safely. Your wiring is extremely dangerous, just pay someone who actually knows what they are doing to do it properly.

Thank goodness the problem wasn't in a multi-lamp fitting, we'd be here until Xmas 2023.
