[QUOTE="binky, post: 484807, member: 490"] every cct is a collection of shorter bits of cable with joins in at accessories such as switches and pendants. Occasionally you will find spider wired lighting system with a big junction box, usually somewhere like the top of the stairs. So your best bet, is pick a point such as a pendant, disconnect outgoing feed and see if fault has gone. If it has fault is further up the cct, if it hasn't it's between that point and the board,. Keep repeating the process until you have a good idea of which cable length is at fault, then guess the route of said cable. [/QUOTE]
