Bedroom lights not working

[Daryl93]

I am replacing some bedroom lights for my girlfriends parents, their old ones stopped working, they where built in LED bulbs with a live and neutral coming from the fixtures, so I am replacing them with newer lighting fixtures, it is straight forward, put the cables into the relitive parts but when i switch it on nothing happens, I have replaced the light switch, trimmed back the conductors (in case of damage) and tried a new fixture I had just bought (didnt work) but still, when I wire them up they just dont seem to work.

they have told me that the guy who lived there before was a bit of a bodger but I just dont understand how the lights worked just days before but now they just dont?

Any help would be appricated,
thank you

A fuse in the trunking? Any pictures? Sounds like maybe someone has used an inline fuse to fuse the lights down maybe.

Me either mate ?

was thinking maybe a FCU fitted. that is the correct way to spur lights from a socket circuit. fuse in FCU should be no more than 5A. but I'd sack the painter.

just noti ced. is that FCU Australian? reads "fuse" from bottom to top.

Is there a transformer in the ceiling void?

It’s to cover people doing handstands
