A lightbulb blew in my utility room at home and the circuit braker switch flicked on the fuse box. I removed the bulb, flicked the switch back, replaced light bulb with new, turned on light switch, but light is not lighting up. There is another light outside the room which is linked to the same switch. This light is lighting - so the circuit appears to be working.
Can anyone advise?

Other light could still be on another circuit.
Try turning breaker all the way off, then back on.
You tried bulb in another fixture I'm sure.
Next would be verifying power out of all Breakers, then to switch, then light fixture.

Light bulb may not be screwed all the way in, or it is a bad light bulb. Try another bulb.

Do u have power at light socket with switch on? Check with a volt meter. Should read 120. If not u have a wire in the circuit that is either broke or disconnected.
