Hi i want to put a light in my loft, i have put a junction box in there coming off bedroom light, but after wiring it up the light stays on permantly could you please advise.
Have you gone junc box, switch and light or junc box light and then switch?
1. Run cable from junc box to SW, put the incomming L in common and out going L to L1. Join the two Ns together in a block. The cable to the light goes L to light L (not loop) and N goes to light N.
2. Run cable from junc box to light. L in loop and N in N of light. With a second cable, connect L to loop in the light and connect the N (sleeved/taped) brown in L in the light. Run this cable back to SW in attic. L in common and (sleeved/taped brown) N in L1.
Same result both ways. Light will go on and off at SW.
