Light keeps tripping Fusebox

[Elliot]

Hi,

I have put up a new light fixture and everytime I switch it on, it keeps tripping the MCB on the fusebox.

It was previously a two gang switch but I have replaced with a 1 gang switch and with a new light chandelier.

I'm not sure if it is wired correctly. Please take a look at the two image links below:

This is how it was previously wired for a 2 gang switch: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13w0TlSU3xCT2oSCwjcXT2rhhJqLetrL9/view?usp=sharing

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks @Sharpend

Do I put both the blue wires in 1 terminal box or 2 separate terminal boxes?

Thanks,

Why have you dug the light switch back box out of the wall?

Why did you mess with the blue and green / yellow in the switch box when there was no need?

Please tell me you have not turned the power on with bare wires like that hanging out of the wall?

Do you think that light fitting is connected correctly and safely?

Please get someone competent to put the mess right. You have made a 5 minute job a much bigger repair job now.

Is that aurora fitting the new one?

if so then you need to be shortening those bare ends..otherwise a Big Bang, gnashing of teeth and the appearance of the magic smoke will ensue.

once the smoke has been released it cannot be put back and it will not work anymore

Why on earth have you butchered up the metal back box? I suspect have probably damaged the light switch by now as well. As you have put a dead-short across the supply by the looks of it. All you had to do was take the old switch off and put the two wires into the terminals of the new switch, ignore the strapper to the unused second gang. And leave the neutral & earths untouched. You may have also damaged the physical cables whilst removing the back-box unnecessarily. A quick and cheap job has become a costly time consuming botch-up.
