Hi Everyone

I have a light fixture that takes 5 20w light bulbs. 2 of the bulbs were dead and I stupidly replaced them with 50w bulbs whilst leaving the remaining 3 sockets with 20w bulbs.

The lights initially worked but after a short time stopped working. Now they don't respond to me turning the light switch on or off. I checked the fuse box and it didn't trip out so there's notihng to reset. I also removed all the light bulbs and replaced them with brand new 20w bulbs and it still doesn't work.

Is there anyway I can fix this myself or will I need to contact an electrician?

Thanks!

Hi nifty

If all lights stopped working, may be defective switch.
Did u check light switch? Is light fixture rated for 20 watt bulbs or lower?

Good luck

What type of fixture, what type of switch?
