	On an AC circuit, other than the live side not being switched, it'll work the exact same way. Comments about it affecting the LED's are completely incorrect. This applies to a LED in a DC circuit.

	The black on the left cable should be going to blue on his drawing

	it all works fine as it is though. Just swapped the bulbs for one i know are working. if the bulbs blow quicker than expected i may look into changing the wiring

	He's not got anything wrong, it was faulty bulbs :\| How can you wire the LED lamp backwards on an AC circuit?
Wrighty_1988	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 16:29
	Might have a detrimental effect on the led lamps wired backwards or they might accept it both ways.
Wrighty_1988	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 16:27
	All you have got wrong is the red on the lamp should be to the right hand black as that is your switch live. The blue should be to the two blacks as thats your neutral common. Left hand wire is the feed in, top is to another light circuit the right takes a common live through the switch and turns the lamp on. Thats how i see it anyway.

	no the yellow thing is the lights
Rob_Quads	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 13:27
	Oh - I presumed those were the 3 lights Then yes it probably is right. The left hand two cables will be the power loop and the right hand one will go down to the switch

	thats the 3 feeds of wires

	I wouldn't know if its wired correctly or not from your diagram. What are the three grey boxes?
John	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 12:53
	If it's working it's probably wired right. Red and black won't just be live and neutral, there will massive bundles everywhere in the ceiling.
IvIarkgraham	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 12:46
	love how people are saying its wired wrong but are not willing to show how its should be
IvIarkgraham	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 12:46
	?
Rob_Quads	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 12:19
	Fingers crossed that is now how it is wired

	WTF is with that diagram :lol:
IvIarkgraham	posted on 5th Mar 14 at 08:46
	it hast tripped it yet. how should it be wired then?
baza31	posted on 4th Mar 14 at 21:00
	That diagram would trip fuse every time . Be like a disco with L-N short

	sorted - dodgy bulbs

	I have just changed my bathroom light from a ingle bulb to one with 3 GU10 leds. I have wired it up as i think it was but when you switch it on only 1 bulb comes on instantly and the other 2 come on after a second but are very dull. any ideas? i'll draw out what ive got connected where now
