I'm moving a socket installed on a lighting circuit (installed by previous owner who was a professional electrician so I assume he knew what he was doing). The socket is used only used for a lamp which is controlled by a wall switch.
I've installed new/moved sockets previously and always check everything is ok after the work is completed using a Kewtech Loopcheck 107 device.
However after moving this socket I'm finding I get a loop test "check" amber light. After much check of connections to no avail i decided to install a test socket directly onto the cable which is supplying the room before the switch and repeated the test. I'm still getting the amber "check" warning. This has at least satisfied me that i haven't done anything wrong as i haven't touched any of the wiring beyond this point. However does this indicate a potential problem elsewhere in the wiring that needs investigating? Or are these testers not suitable for lighting circuits?
