This seems like a great place to post what i was going to make a thread for.

I recently moved into a new townhouse and replaced the lovely typical ceiling light with a track light. I switched off the breaker, connected the ground, neutral and live wires, attached wire nuts and taped them up. Now the section of the townhouse for that certain breaker has completely shut down. I've tried messing with the box a few times to no avail, i'm having a hard time believing a light i installed (i hope) correctly knocked out a part of my electric.

What did i do?

What happens when you flip the breaker back on? Does it immediately trip, only trip after you turn that light on, etc?

Thanks for expressing interest however i figured it out eventually, while i was installing the fixture, my neutral became loose.
