[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 448813, member: 6969"] Nobody can tell you which fuse box the lighting circuit is going to be , but it will be the one with a blown fuse. If you are paying an electrician £75 a time to replace a fuse, then he's ripping you off imho. How long was he in the house for? was it just replacing a fuse or did he spend time finding and fixing the fault that caused it to blow? Perhaps you are better off putting your next £75 towards a new consumer unit (which will also mean a lot of testing and probably some remedial repairs to make it acceptable) If you are lucky, have a look at the inside of the cover that you unscrew to gain access to the fuses. You might be lucky and find someone has labelled which fuse does what. To narrow it down a bit, lighting circuits are usually the white 5A fuses (though not always) [/QUOTE]
