[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 551094, member: 6969"] That switch wiring is troubling me. You have three twin & earth cables entering that switch box. I think the two on the left are loop in and loop out and the one on the right is out to the light fitting. If so, you have all lives joined together, and the switch in the neutral. That is VERY dangerous. The light may appear to be off, but still has live connected and you could get a nasty shock - literally if you assumed it was off and tried to work on it. Do others concur with my suspicion? [/QUOTE]
