after installing new light fittings and turning on the power there was a flash and the lights went out. now none of the lights on the ground and first floor work yet the lights on the second floor work, could it be a blown fuse? if so why did it happen could it be dodgy wiring by myself

as i said, quite a common mistake
And if you have ****ty light switches.......it can confuse even more, as once you have actually wired the light correctly......the switch then doesn't work
