Hi everyone. I’m a newly qualified electrician. Just had a confusing issue. I put up a new light in a clock room for a customer. It’s a microwave sensor light. So I left out the switch live and terminated feed in feed out lives and neutrals.
Now, an upstairs light stopped working. I can’t understand why. So I dropped the new fitting and double checked the cables I had were right. They are. So I connectored them and left the fitting off. Same issue. The light that has stopped working has permanent live at the pendant in loop but no voltage on switch.
like I said it’s a different circuit which is just baffling me. Also a separate led fitting on the downstairs circuit has gone very very dim. Again is this a coincidence or part of a bigger problem.
Would really appreciate some help as I’m at a loss. My background is new build housing and I’ve only recently qualified. I’m massively aware of my limitations but this seemed like a very straight forward job.
Another thing. The main switch seems to crackle when I turn it on.
thanks everyone
