[QUOTE="QuietLeni, post: 449192, member: 29220"] I will get a better joint box and set the layout correctly. I removed the borrow neutral from the circuit and as I thought, the lights stopped working in the bathroom only - the other lights in the Upstairs circuit stayed on. I am now wondering why that guy didn't use the neutral from the rest of the lighting circuit, rather than trailing a whole cable up from the mains (which is mainly kept in the void between the ground and first floors). All I could think of was that he was using the mains circuit because the bathroom light was attached to an extractor fan, but still, why use a borrowed earth from the mains for that? I think that I need to do is find the rest of the upstairs light circuit and use the neutral from that (unless I am missing sonething)? [/QUOTE]
