Ran a security light off a fluresent light in kitchen.
Used 4 port supply push in wire connecter.
Earth and neutral wires connected inline to existing terminal blocks.
When I turn "OFF" bathroom fluresent light after use, the security light turns on.
What's causing this please?
Thanks!!
 
Neutral being switched on the floro.
 
Do you have a two probe voltage test device (eg a multimeter).?
show us pics of the connections you have made at the new light and the kitchen light.

Yes I do have a two probe multimeter.

Did you mean to say supply came from kitchen and turning off bathroom causes security light to come on?

Supply cable I assume comes from "bathroom too kitchen" as its closest to Consumer Unit.
Yes at night turning off bathroom switch causes Security Light to come on for the set period.
