[QUOTE="HavingTroublePleaseHelpTha, post: 495504, member: 32655"] Hello, firstly I appreciate any help and I'm sorry for asking what is probably an annoying question A ceiling light bulb blew in my bedroom when I switched it on, it was an old fashioned pearl bulb, no problem happens sometimes, put in a new bulb, didn't work I checked my fuse box and a switch was down, switched it up, still doesn't work but the switch has stayed up The switch that was down was for the lighting in the extension part of the house, I checked those lights and none of them work From what I've described, is there any way to guess what the issue is? I can't really afford an electrician atm, this is such a bad time for something to have happened If it's not obvious what the issue is from what I've described, how would I go about trying to find the fault myself? It would be a relief if I could diagnose the problem myself, either to try and fix assuming it's something simple like replacing the bulb holder or light fitting which I could watch tutorials for; or if not and I do have to save or borrow to get an electrician I will know it's money that had to be spent Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
