I am trying to replace a ceiling rose with a new chandelier. I had all the wiring carefully complete, turned the power back on and...trip! Tried a couple of times and no joy.
The wiring looked correct. I think it is the unit. The company I bought it from want to collect it and then test it before sending out a replacement. Bit of a hassle. So wanted advice on whether it could be the wiring rather than unit...
I can send photos of the wiring but the big give away to me is that when I replace the old fitting it works fine. No tripping.

1 of the unit I'm trying to fit.
1 close up of the wiring, with the original fitting in it. That works fine

- TL;DR
- New chandelier trips the circuit. Is it the wiring or unit?
