    Led downlights flick on/off when switched on

    Replaced an outside mains pir light which works, but none of the other lights work, except the one it runs off. I took the wiring off the circuit, essentially back to how it was before, but I still have no lights indoors. When I switch downlights on the flicker! Any help would be fantastic please.
