Hi all. Any help/advice regarding my rewiring would be appreciated. I'm very likely calling in an electrician once we're allowed to, to sort out my mess.
I wanted to replace pendant lights in my Kitchen. There are two lights connected to the same switch.
The original wiring was like so:
And the box for the new lamp was like so:
Blue wire on the left hand side, brown to the right.
My handy work was this:
And astonishingly enough, when I turned the power back on and switched the switch, both lights came on! Hurray. But then when I popped everything on, the 2nd light didn't come on:
So I'm thinking a wire came loose as I was fitting the bracket on. No problem, let's have a look, and sure enough, it looked like one of the neutral wires were loose. Okay, so redid them and now nothing turns on! D'oh.
Any clues as to where I buggered it up?
