Hi, I’m new here, hopefully a simple question for the professionals.
I am installing down lights in an upstairs bedroom. The plasterer has gracefully removed the lamp and pushed the cables up into the loft.
In the loft I now have a cable coming from the bedroom light switch and a second cable going, I think to another light switch as these now don’t switch on
I have some downlights, ones which I’ve installed myself in another room with no issues except there was no rose wiring in place.
My first question is why have the bathroom lights lost power?
My second question is how does the wiring work so the down lights work and the would this wiring then allow the bathroom lights to have power?
My low level understanding is that the ‘power in’ is coming from the bedroom light switch, providing power to the bedroom lighting and a live switch is on play to provide power to the bathroom. Is that right?
Also, I have an electrician coming in a few days to fix the wiring. I just have one of those minds where I like to understand how it works.
