What to do if your lights stop working.
If your lights stop working its relatively simple to diagnosing if its just the bulb / lamp that has failed or the circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown. Basically, all you need to do is try a light in another room. If the lamp has failed, then switch it off at the wall then replace it. If not look at the fuse board and establish if the circuit breaker has tripped, if so reset it. If you have fuse wire, pull out the fuse bridge, (the lighting circuit will have two white dots) then rewire with 5 amp fuse wire and replace it. If after replacing the fuse wire, or resetting the circuit breaker it trips again, call an electrician to diagnose the fault, never try repeatedly, as this may make the fault worse and impair safety.
Never attempt to complete electrical work unless you feel comfortable to do so. Always switch off electricity before starting work. Most electrical installation work in homes come under the Part P of the Building Regulations, and if you attempt it yourself you will contravening them and may be prosecuted, additionally if you do not have proper certification and building control approval you may have problems with house sales and future insurance claims.
