Loft light
I have a loft light which is wired into the hall light. I can turn on the loft light on its own( light is dull), but if I turn on both lights they go very dim. Looking at the wiring, there is three core wiring from hall connection to loft light switch but then there is only twin core to light bulb ( no earth). Would this lack of earth between light switch and socket be the problem ?
