I have an older IKEA halogen ceiling fixture. I mistakenly replaced one of the three 20 watt bulbs with a fifty watt one, and now the entire fixture will not work, even after I removed the 50 watt bulb. I'm not sure I the entire fixture is broken or can I still save it?

I believe the fixture has a built in transformer, that may have failed due to being overloaded with the 50 watt lamp.

IN other words, time to get a new light fixture. There's a black button on the fixture to reset it, but I tried that and it still doesn't work. Thank you for your response.
