Hey

When turning on a 2 way dimmer switch all the lights in my flat went out. I changed the fuse (an old fuse wire) which had blown with a like replacement but none of the lights will go on. Should I now investigate the actual swicth?

Any advice would be appreciated

Most of us here are in the US. Hopefully someone will be along that can help you.
You are in the UK, right?

Are you here in the U.S.A.

In the U.S.A. a tenant is not allowed to do any electrical work in an apartment. The landlord (or Super) must get licensed electrican in to do the work.

The Dimmer/Switch would be a good first start.
Then install new fuse. An Electrician may remove and bypass dimmer for a test.
