Light Bulb Problem

[grober]

Hello.

I have a problem that a number of light bulbs on different circuits within my house blew simletaneously. On each circuit, there are other lights which still work but replacement of the blown bulbs still leaves me without any light.

As a point of note, one of the circuits is on a dimmer and the other on a normal switch.

Can anyone suggest a potential solution?

Get an electrician to check your wiring,you wont have the equipment to do it

It is possible that there is a short in the circuit, the current rush caused by this short probably damaged the dimmer. The best way to check this is to turn off the circuit breaker for this circuit and change the dimmer with a standard light switch. When you turn on the power and the switch, if the circuit has a problem it will trip the circuit breaker. Please note that the problem can be intermittent, therefore I would join stephenf8542 and advice you to call an electrician.

if the circuit has a problem it will trip the circuit breaker.

Not necessarily. Only if there is a short circuit. An open circuit will also mean the lights dont work but will not blow the fuse.

I do agree that an electrician is best way to sort it though.
