Test neutral - earth
then try the same at a different rose which works ok and see what you get.

Contact an electrician - there's a wiring fault (faults) somewhere on the lighting circuit. A potential of 180V suggests that you've lost 50 to 60V somewhere i.e. The Black (or Blue) Wire you call a neutral is not a neutral - it's carrying a voltage.

240V divided by 4 is 60V - I suspect 4 lamps wired in series - which is bizarre. I think that you may have been wiring several lights and have made basic errors.

Take care...
