[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 392272, member: 1408"] You need a mains tester Ressull . You may have disturbed a dodgey junction box by one of the fittings when you replaced lamps , just whistling in the wind really with out being there. You need to test at the switch , see if there a supply going to the lights , could just be the neutral disturbed , who knows . Also beaten by PD , I think he's right with the dimmer switch ....you added extra load with the two lamps and blew the dimmer . Get shut of it , they're a pain , put a switch in it's place. The job may have been designed for lower wattage lamps , 35w ?? Many people replace them with 50w and if theres a dimmer it blows up . Edit : Try linking the dimmer out , [COLOR=#ff0000][B]SWITCH OFF POWER FIRST[/B][/COLOR] and see if they come on . Just stealing PD's thunder . :innocent [/QUOTE]
