Good Morning need some advice please.
Yesterday went to change a light fitting in hallway. There are two ceiling lights in the hall controlled by 2 switches at opposite ends of the hall.
On removing one light there was the remains of a ceiling rose under the fitting. I noted the position of the wires and disconnected the remainder of the rose. have connected the wires back together in what i thought was the correct order, but something is wrong. On turning the power back on the fitting came on. the switches will not turn it off.
There are 2 Yellow wires looped together, two red looped together, and two blue looped together, and a brown taken off the red to the fitting and a blue to the fitting from the blues.
Can anyone help please, have attached a picture
