Light fitting.

[Jamie8825]

Hey guys. I've fitted 3 LED chandeliers with no issues. Doing the 4th and having a big issue. Everytime I switch it off, the breaker trips. This one has 2 mains connections coming into the light as opposed to just one with the others. Any ideas?

Have you connected the switch live to neutral by any chance?

When you switch it off, not on?

I’m thinking a faulty fitting, but if you could post a photo of the fittings, the model number and the existing wiring, we can maybe advise further

I think I have but the chandelier only has 1 live, 1 neutral and 1 earth connection on each side of the block

Just the single one for the loop of lights upstairs.

Maybe one of the blacks is a switched live

It was the switched live. I've sorted it now. Took the block from the old light and pit it in the chandelier. Thanks for the help guys.
