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.

Why have you had to rewire it. Shouldn't you take it back to the shop and say it didn't work?
 
I wanted to convert a wall light into one I can use on a plug.
 
Why did you not buy a light with a fitted plug?
 
They didn't have one that I could use above a dartboard
 
Photos of the wiring connections at the plug and the light fitting would help.
