Ok. They said there is another light roiund the back of the house thats off the same switch now so it probably something gone wrong with that one. I will tell them to get someone in as it all looks a diy job.

They said previous light did work then it packed in.

Yes. Just brought the light to my house and wired it up inside and it works perfect. Checked the terminals and live light screwdriver. Neutral doesn't. At the other house both live and neutral lite screwdriver. Confused.

That the issue . its dead. Ive been told i could have a live and switched live to it instead of neutral and thats why it wont work. Makes no sense to me.

I can do but its just earth to earth . red to live and black to neutral. May be a dud light.

Nothing tripped. Im trying to find out if switched live to neutral on the light is a thing or not.

Its not working. Ive been told older lights can work with live. To live and switched live to neutral but new lights wont work this way and need a neutral. Is this rubbish?

Its just a choc block connector l n and earth

Just doing what i thought was a simple job for family member. Replaced a screwfix dunham light with pir with a new maine pir light. Connected it up the same . (black to neutral and red to live and the earth) didn't work. Being now told that the new light needs neutral, live and earth and it may have live and switched live as its off a switch. Could this be right?

Thats it. Yes.

Cant see anything

I just thought I would put this on here so if anyone want to respond to the survey. Martin Lewis is already involved here. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10161328595796540&id=540806539&_rdr
