moonlighter 1,165 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'm a sparky and it could be anything. Impossible to say without a test meter. Could be faulty mcb, faulty switch, faulty light, or even a loose conection on the live or neutral. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moonlighter 1,165 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Drop the light down from the ceiling and see if any wires are loose, other than that you'll need a sparky to look at it. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
