I have disconnected the short wire that was pigtailed to the other bottom point. and yet when I switched on the complete circuit, the other 2 lights which were supposed to be disconnected still flickers and circuit eventually tripped after a while. <br /><br />And I noticed there was slight dampness in one of the wires connected to the top point. <!--emo&:stars:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxub.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br /><br />I can&#39;t really see the condition above the down lights as it is plastered ceiling which only about 4-6 inches from the actual concrete ceiling . <br /><br />All advice welcome. kv165 Home Renovations and Interior Design Thu, 12 Dec 2013 08:10:26 +0800
