Bathroom Light Only Has Live And Neutral

The original wiring has switch-leg pair (hot-switch & neutral) in as well as similar out, so there should be a second light operating off the same switch. If there is no other light, you should identify which wire pair is live and which wire pair is dead. The light gets a hot and a neutral.

The fix: learn how light looks at different color temperatures It is important to familiarize yourself with how light looks at different color temperatures. Have you ever been to a public bathroom and noticed that they had the wrong light bulbs? The lighting was too yellow and dim, or perhaps way too bright and harsh?

Sounds like you have a live and neutral feed and switch wire at the light position, if this is the case and you have connected the neutral with the switch wire this will cause the circuit to trip.
