Hi,
Newbie looking for some advice, not sure if I am using the right terminology so please bare with me.
The circuit breaker controlling our lights appears to be broken but I want to check my rationale before I get an electrician out to help.
The circuit has flipped to the off position a number of times over the last couple of days but no lights have blown as a result, though they do all switch off. It doesn't appear to matter what lights are on. When I have checked the circuit breaker and flipped it back up the lights come on and so I have not done anything else about it. This last time the breaker has been warm but also doesn't provide power to the lights unless I keep the switch pushed up. Otherwise it stay in the on position but the lights do not work.
I think it is faulty/broken and needs replacing and from what I can see they are about £5. Is it possible for a complete novice to replace or should I stay well clear?
Thanks
Mark
