The photos of the connections as requested.
- Pic 1 is the spotlight wired to the plug - it is working, no disputing that
- Pic 2 showing the 3 terminals of the spotlight connected to the plug - the spotlight is metal so the earth is required
- Pic 3 is with the Earth released - just so we know that there is no issues with the earth as the problem lampholder is plastic, it can't be seen in shot, but the spotlight is still illuminated
- Pic 4 is the problem lampholder wiring at the lampholder
- Pic 5 the lampholder to power cable circuitry - as mentioned above, no earth
- Pic 6 - no light - it isn't showing but the plug is powered on - I had intended to include my circuit tester in the shot but my camera was being awkward so I just didn't have enough hands - hence my circuit tester in shot in pic 4
- Pic 7, a close-up of the lampholder wiring, just so you can see that we're connected to the correct terminals. It can't be seen from this shot but the light is off (those reflected in the work surface are the kitchen lights), but the power is on.
