1 bed flat

smoke alarm install , took neutral from nearest light and live from nearest switch connected smokey switched power on and only light that worked was the one i took neutral from and the smokey worked every other light had no neutral.
puzzled :s

any ideas
 
took a neutral from the light , feed from light switch ,connect to the smokey .

turned power back on and the lights in flat did not work they had lost neutral , was thinking i drilled through it
 
So if we are to follow that all connections are correct then it can only be something simple, all the lamps blew at the same time!........................ Have you caught the insulation when re terminating?
