| Nov 21, 2021 at 17:49 | comment | added | Peter Bold | Thank you, I turned every breaker off and then turned them all back on again and the power to lights has come back on. Just in time to put the baby to bed, thank you so much for everyone's help, I think I'll get someone who knows what they are doing round to install the light!!! | |

| Nov 21, 2021 at 17:19 | comment | added | Peter Bold | I've added a picture. So after the breaker tripped I went back downstairs, could see it had tripped, unwired the light and returned the cables as I found them originally (picture attached). Something has gone wrong and none of the lights work | |

| Nov 21, 2021 at 17:12 | comment | added | Peter Bold | OK so there are 3 cables from the ceiling each have 3 wires, each has a red, a black and a copper wire. | |

| Nov 21, 2021 at 17:07 | comment | added | George Anderson | Pictures of what you worked will help a lot. Also, after you undid the wires in the affected box, did you isolate them and reset the circuit breaker? Also, please use the terms "cables" and "wires" correctly so we can better help you. Cables contain more than one wire, while wires are individual conductors. | |
