Electric help for a moron
Discussion
Just trying to wire in a new light for the bedroom, if I turn it on there's a lot of buzzing from the (dimmer) switch, and some more from the light unit. The light flickers, and the bulbs are very dim. Have I been a mong and wired it up wrong? I tried swapping the live and neutral wires around to see if that helped. But it didn't. It was the same.
The loop wiring looks rather weird, but that is how the old light (which was just a hanging bulb affair) was wired and that worked fine. I have refitted the old light and it works fine with this setup.
What have I done wrong?
