I bought a new ceiling light fixture and a single dimmer switch t
replace the existing fixture and single switch. I installed the dimme switch first which worked with the existing light fixture, no problem on, off, and dim. I then installed the new light fixture. The ol ceiling rose had 3 live, 3 neutral and 1 earth going into a series o connector blocks. Since my new fixture only had 3 connections, twisted the old wires and connected them to the corresponding new one
- easy, right? Power on. Light came on but dimmer switch wouldn' dim. Turned off the light at the dimmer switch and the fuse blew. Messed with the dimmer connections to no avail. Disconnected the ne light fixture. Now when I turn on the power, the fuse blows. I spen last night in semi-darkness and am now contemplating calling a electrician but would rather do this myself.
Anybody
