New ceiling light - what am I doing wrong!!!

[Cadgey123]

I reckon I could have fitted the light quicker than @Richard Burns done that ace drawing.

There's no chance I'm touching it to take photo.

It is exactly per Richards amazing art work

Thanks again Richard!!

And to all that couldn't be bothered to offer advice as simply replied "call electrician".........thanks also

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...in this case I'd say the refusal to touch it take a picture is worth a thousand words.

Another DIY botch job out there I fear.

What isn't the point of this forum?

For 'experts' like yourself 123 to simply insult and put people down who ask for DIY advise? If so well done, you are indeed an expert in this field.

I clearly stated my connections have followed Richards image to a T, so if my installation is a botch job Richards advice is also bad advice.

My installation is working and has been checked over and confirmed safe I don't need to take apart now and justify this to people like you.

I wanted to do this myself, you might be the type of person that would just get someone else to do a job for you if you found it a bit difficult but each to their own.

Anyway, the lights fitted, working and happy it's with the electrical safety check that has been carried out on it so no need for anymore 'experts' to waste anymore time with comments.

no need to get shirty. you've had good advice and maybe a bit of a put down from some posts, but what do you expect? we feed our families doing this, and DIYers steal the bread from our kids'mouths by asking for advice how to cut us out of earning a living, not possessing the knowledge and equipment to do the work safely. i have a heart problem. think i'll ask on the surgeons' forum as how to perform a triple bypass. can'r be too hard, it's only a few arteries.

Not much of a tool tart Pete only tend to buy when it is needed. My Channelock cutters, pliers and pipe grips are thirty odd years old, I do have a thing for expensive shoes though
