far Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Just put in a new ceiling light in the dining room which consists of a similiar set up to the attached diagram, also replaced the kitchen light. I think its something to do with the loop but now the kitchen light doesnt work and every time I flick the kitchen on/off switch the dining room light comes on! I have double checked and triple checked and all wires are connect properly. I have connected the light the same as the diagram. Any ideas what I can try to do differently in terms of the wiring?
