Changed bathroom pull switch

I’m betting it’s a two way pull switch and you’ve connected to L1 and L2 INSTEAD of Com and L1

Actually now we know the OP bought a dimmer pull switch, I see it has N and L in terminals and N and L out terminals. The OP has just connected L in and L out.

I have not read the instructions, but I am willing to bet this switch won't work without N connected.

Also if suspecting a cable has pulled out of a terminal in the loft, turn off the power before investigating, you could find a bare live wire lurking under the loft insulation, that would be shocking.

Morning all

Thanks for everyone's input!

I went into the roof this morning and found that one of the lights in the bathroom had been knocked in the ceiling. There was a loose connection and after fixing this issue all the lights upstairs, including the bathroom are working again.

Thanks for the help!

Also what does OP stand for

put an upside down plantpot over the light fitting with notch in the rim for the cable. If LED no need to add a vent hole. Seal rim with silicon. This also stops heat escaping into the loft, keeping heating bills down.
