[QUOTE="roys, post: 450113, member: 5044"] I am thinking what you did should work although it is not 100% correct. So my thinking is : 1 & 2 are a contact (switch) 5 & 6 are a contact Then L from plug to 1, then a wire from 2 to centre of lamp holder And N from plug to 5, then a wire from 6 to outer connection of lamp holder. (if my pairings are wrong then ignore above 😀) Check your plug fuse is good and rated at 3A. Check your lamp (bulb) is good. Sometimes centre tab in lamp holder needs bent very slightly to make better contact with bulb (make sure you are unplugged before doing this) You may need to consider case earthing depending on design. If you are not sure about the electrics keep seeking advice as it hurts when it goes wrong. Good luck and post a pic up. [/QUOTE]
