Wiring advice for plug in lights


James

Recommended Posts

Hello.

I want to make a light fitting with three bulbs that plugs into the mains. I've attached a circuit diagram of what I had in mind.

I put it together, plugged in the last bulb on the circuit only (i.e. the one on the far right of the diagram), but when I turned on the power it tripped the main switch on my consumer unit.

What did I do wrong?

Is there a better way to achieve the same result?
