View the thread, titled "Rewiring from 2 gang dimmer" which is posted in DIY Electrical Advice on Electricians Forums.

Hi, in my bedroom i had a 2 gang dimmer that powered 2 set of 3 spot lights and also had passthrough wires to other sockets. Im changing to just one pendent light. this was the original setup attached.

I have rewired the new standard light switch, the passthrough is working as the other switches work up stairs, but the single light pendent is not workig now (no power) . I tested the same switch with a single spotlight and it works but ver dim. Im not sure where the black wire goes in the switch?

To the pendent there is a red, black and earth wire.

Thanks in advance

Jeez what a mess that is, impossible really to tell you what is what there, is that after you reconnected or before you altered it?
 
looks like the OP has disappeared which is a shame, would be nice to get to the bottom of this.
