Diy-er, weird issue with ceiling rose wiring for new light

[stevewak]

Its your call, but I would say disconnect the light from the connector block (whilst circuit is isolated) and and then get someone to look at it, just ensure there are no live wires hanging loose without some form of connector on the end.

Excellent - will do. Appreciate the helpful advice.

Makes a pleasant change to see a thread like this not degenerate into insult after insult. Daz

Get a spark in, those screwdriver are dangerous and will light up if there is any voltage present.

Yes, I'm sure a proper electrician would have all the proper tools and would know how to sort it out in two ticks. I'm just looking for a steer on what might be wrong. The house should have been wired by a professional. It's hardly worth getting someone round for this and I hardly use the light. It's the annoyance factor.

i`v got a steer for you...

here:

bull in a china shop stuff this....why didn`t you just call an electrician in...

sure there are plenty of members in here near you....
