Hi,

i have recently acquired a new ceiling light fitting. i removed the old
fitting some time ago, the wiring showed it is of the loop-in variety of
curcuit.
i fitted the new light but when i came to switch it on - nothing, i double
checked the connections to the light, they were ok, changed the bulb -
still
the same. put the old light fitting back in - still nothing. i took
another fitting from another room that i knew worked - still nothing.
checked the switch connections - still nothing, swapped the switch -
still
nothing. i did notice on the switch that both connecting wires were red
and
neither was marked up as the live feed, but i connected it back up the
same
way anyhow.

Any ideas what i can try next before i have to resort to calling someone
out?

tia.

I.
