Hi,
I'm having an issue with a light. Its a fitting that also has another 3 fittings on the dimmer switch.
Basically, one of them isn't working. I changed the bulb and nothing. I tested the bulb, it is fine.
So, I decide to take the fitting off and see if power is actually getting to it, and there is.
So I decide the problem must be where the bulb screws in. No problem, I'll check that and fix it, no problem.
However, when I tested to see if power was getting to the fitting as I said earlier, I noticed something... it didn't read a steady voltage. It was all over the place to be honest. Up and down... sometimes even showing 0v for a mere moment. I also noticed when it sort of does stabilise on a voltage, even if its only for a second or two, it was 215v rather than the average or appx 230v.
Is that because its on a dimmer switch? Or is something else going on?
All help is always greatly appreciated.
