Is one of the switches in the wrong position, if so try putting it to the same position as the rest |

Bec Sounds like a bulb has gone and knocked out that particular lighting circuit. Which switch on the little box has dropped down? You should be able to flick it back up and the lights will come back on - except the one that's gone of course! Daisy |

What were you doing when the flash happened? Switching on a light? Switching on an appliance? Janice |

Bec If you have what they call a Consumer Unit - all little flick switches - just flick back the one that is in the down position.... If you have the old fashioned pull out ones - then you got a fiddley job of fitting with new fuse wire lol Good luck *if she doesn't reply within 10 call fire brigade* |

It might be as simple as a light bulb has blown. |

A current surge when a light bulb went probably. Is one of your bulbs not working now? Change it and life gets back to normal!! |

you should have a small box,with switches,look to see if one switch is out of sequence to the others,if so,just flip it back in place. bryan. |
