    I left the existing rose as it was. The old light had brown and blue wires going into that rose. I unscrewed these two wires and put my new wires where I took those from.

    Have to push light switch hard to turn on, changed switch but still happening. Please help!

    No that wasn’t my post. Although I do rent and my landlord doesn’t know I’m doing this. Thought there was no harm in changing the light switch.

    Sorry, did I post this question already elsewhere? Had a bit of trouble first of all, didn’t realise I had double posted.

    Hi there :) the light switch for a ceiling light needs to be pushed quite hard in order for the light to turn on. What started happening first was that you would flick the switch (just normal force) and after a couple of seconds the light would turn on. Then it stopped turning on but I...
