I have recently bought a house and the outside light doesn't work. After unscrewing the bolts I realised it wasn't wired up at the light.
I have a brand new light and cannot get it to work.
At the light I have 2 grey cables: 1 with a red core and a earth, the other with just 1 black core.
At the light switch (this is a 3way switch which controls my hall light and upstairs light & the outside light) 2 of these work fine. Its just the outside light.
The spare switch (for the outside light) only has 1 grey cable with the red core and earth coming into connection L2. I have no cores going in the COM terminal and no cores going into the L1 terminal.
I have done a continuity test from switch to the light, on the red core and earth core. And this is a good reading 0.1ohms.
I have done a voltage check to earth on the red core & I'm getting 4 volts AC. On the black core 0 volts AC
Can anyone advise me how to wire this to get my outside light operational please.
