    So I bought a light fixture from a shop which runs a 60w candle bulb. I have rewired it using a block to connect it to a plug. All the wires are connected to the correct nodes within the block and plug. Unfortunately I am receiving no light from the bulb when switched on. Any advice is welcome.
