I have changed my hallway light but kept the old switch and connectors so all I have added is earth live and neut wires from new block connection to the old block connection


Reading other forums/helpdesk things says to try change wires other way around but still no luck


Any fresh advice I can get ?

Cssean,
Is this a "three-way" switching circuit, where two switches
Turn on/off the same light in your hallway?

Did you only replace just the fixture?

Please provide a bit more detail...

Somehow you have an unswitched hot as your power feed. What wires were in the ceiling box?
