[QUOTE="mooncat, post: 448766, member: 29203"] The black is stripped as if it was connected at some point, yes. Don't think it could touch the earth terminal, no - it's over the other side of the socket and hangs down a wee bit, whereas the earth is right up against the ceiling. There is a fan in the bathroom but we've never used it in the last nine years, and the previous owners didn't either as it was too noisy. It (the fan) is switched off by a switch (like a light switch) in the loft, but I'm wondering if the bathroom light would also turn the fan on if the fan switch in the loft was on, and it's actually that that's causing the issue? We have lights over the bathroom mirror which are working fine, and all the other overhead lights upstairs don't trip the switch, so at the moment we're just not using the main overhead bathroom light.
