Hello all help please!
Simple job change light...
Got live lighting feed into Bathroom (not sure where it’s fed from yet,not looped from previous light so in hidden JB somewhere)
230v l-E 0v N-E 24v L-N but cannot get light to work? Tried spare pendant and bulb from van still not working (previous light worked) not getting into it on Friday afternoon will go back Monday to run some tests but any advice would greatly appreciated

sounds like you've lost continuity of the neutral back to the CU

As above 24 volts L to N you have lost the Neutral some ware

Hi bud,what is the switching arrangements,and did it function before the swap?

Hello mate,switch fed from I’m guessing a junction box up in the ceiling somewhere,bathroom on back of house so it’s the last light on the circuit and yep previous worked,

Mate surely if you've only got 24v L-N you'll be able to work out for yourself why the light wont work?

spotting your location, just check and make sure the cable is not caught up in Victory's yardarm.
