[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 391412, member: 17152"] You say that the smoke alarm cable is trunked can you follow it and see where it joins into the light circuit? Is it at the light in question? You say that the light at the end of the loop will not switch off and has three cables? Lights at the end generally have two cables, is this where the smokes feed from? Do you have a battery operated door bell that you could use to identify the switch cable? On a two way switching light it is common to have a small voltage on the second leg from the switch a neon will not distinguish between a small voltage or a mains voltage. If we can identify the switch cable then the rest is straight forward. The light that you've removed is this one of the two that are in downstairs hall? Open the pendant of the second hall light how many cables? [/QUOTE]
