[QUOTE="Gerbold, post: 493496, member: 32420"] Unfortuantely, I only partially understand what you're advising. The wiring from the lighting circuit to the batten LED was straightforward so I'm beginning to suspect there was another reaosn for one of the original fluorescents not working - other than a failure of the unit itself. My neighbour is getting an electrician in anyway to do some maintenance work on a buliding she's caretaker of - so she can get him to check what's going on. I get what you're saying about the limitations of the neon tester. Checking the circuitry with an appropriate tester would determine the fault, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do so without bringing an old brain up to speed on domestic electrical lighting circuitry. I guess if I took the floorboards up and isolated all the wiring running to and from the fittings I'd stumble upon the solution - but taking up t&g is a tad too dirty and hard work for my inclination. I'll let the younger guy do it. I wasn't getting paid for it! Thanks for your detailed input - much appreciated. best wishes - Chris [/QUOTE]
