Hi all
My bathroom light stopped working this morning, I popped down to screwfix to pick up a replacement and changed it myself, didn't think it was a difficult or dangerous task.
I've got 4 spotlights in the bathroom and there is also an extractor fan that turns on (separate isolater switch).
I changed it over today and when I pulled the cord there's no lighting.
I've checked for power with a non contact voltage detector with power cut off (no beeping) and turned back on (beeping) so I'm thinking maybe it's the wrong type of pull switch?
The old switch was a dimmer pull switch, I'll add pictures of the old as well as the new. Is it a case of the wrong switch or an electrician needs to be called out?
Any advice appreciated, thanks
