Very Strange Lighting Circuit Problem

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

Is it just me that can't really understand the problem?

:C

Nahhh..

I don't think squareone understands it either?

:innocent

smacks of DIY, possibly inherited by the poster, possibly of his own making? Nothing a competent electrician couldn't sort in a few hours, but i appreciate not everyone has the money...

I think Ducks point is we are not even understanding the description of what works and what does not work.

precisely Dave, dimmers controlling wrong set of lights, broken cct etc etc

This could be anything from series'ed lamps to loose connections. I also dont think English is the OP's 1st language.

dear helpful peeps, I am very happy to declare I have fixed the problem.  

Yes, it is a loose connection in the bathroom lights pull-cord switch.

I should have checked this at first point instead of went through all the hassle in the loft. 

It must have been the 'bedroom-dimmer-controls-bathroom-downlight' as well as 'stair-ceiling-light-always-working' but 'the-rest-always-not-working-at-the-same-time' confused the hell of it.

So after two nights of 'meditation' I gathered my strength (you can stop pressing now) and tried a few different connection options at the junction box. There are 4 pairs of cable at the junction box: a -switch live - dimmer for the bedroom; b - bedroom ceiling; c feed to the bathroom (fan/light) ; d live in.

In one configuration, I managed to tried the permanent live/switch live messed up situation.

At the end I put back the connection to what it original was. And check the pull-cord. :-D

Unfortunately I can't share the photos or link to the photos for each of the configuration I tried. 

But thank you all very much!

Very happy with myself.

(It turns out I cant post smilies neither)
