Lighting Problem.

Zoomup
In my living room I have three lighting points. One is a centre ceiling point that had  a 100 Watt G.L.S. incandescent lamp.


Then there is a wall light where the bulb has blown but I have not renewed it as it is difficult to access.


And lastly there is another wall light where the 40 Watt G.L.S. incandescent lamp was working.


Last night the centre light and one wall light were working fine through the non-L.E.D.compatible dimmer switch.


This morning it was a bit gloomy so I turned on the dimmer switch and the B6 M.C.B. tripped off in the consumer unit. 


An ideal opportunity to change the dimmer switch for a new L.E.D. compatible type I thought. So I changed the dimmer, reset the B6 M.C.B. to on and discovered that I had no lights at all.


Why?

    you have not told us why the B6 blew out to begin with - presumably the dimmer was collateral, not the original fault that tripped, and that has yet to be identified. Maybe a short at the lampholder, and the dimmer acted as a fuse, so the rest of the house stayed on..
