[QUOTE="Luckyboy, post: 522628, member: 34072"] Hi Shaz, Welcome. Appreciate you don't want to fork out for an electrician to visit but some testing really needs to take place before someone gets hurt. Sounds like some cables have been crossed (literally) and in such an unknown state could cause harm to someone who isn't competent in testing and fault finding. It's difficult to advise where to start apart from you need some test equipment to determine what is your feed and what is going to your switch lines. Someone has put some strappers on the cables but to be honest, I wouldn't trust them in the state that the lights are in at the moment. I'd highly advise calling an electrician to take a look - lives are more valuable than money. [/QUOTE]
