Wiring error - one of the wires that appears to be a neutral - is not a neutral - it's Switched Live - to turn the light on and off.

You have very probably connected all the live wires together (correctly) and all the neutral-looking wires together (not correct).

In your situation the lamp lights when the switch is OFF and the fuse blows when the Switch is ON.

And if it's all too much for you call an electrician - they need the work!

Good luck...
