Hello,
Would appreciate your thoughts.
I have a kitchen with two lighting circuits served by to single switches at two different locations.
This afternoon I removed 6 compact fluorescent gu10 lamps and replaced with 6 5W LED GU10 dimmable lamps from the 1st lighting circuit.
Tried the switch and lamps came on fine.
Turned the power off and changed switch for Aurora AU - DSP400X LED dimmer switch. Instructions indicate that this dimmer is compatible with these Lamps and fits within the minimum and maximum loads.
Turned the power on, pressed the dimmer on, the lamps flashed and the MCB tripped.
I removed the dimmer and replaced with the switch and now there is no voltage at the switch or the light fittings. To make things worse the second lighting circuit in the kitchen isn't working either. All other lights on the downstairs circuit remain working.
It appears that a 16A MCB tripped serving a water heater tripped at the same time as the 6A lighting circuit. I say this because I didn't notice it was down when I isolated the power. I flicked this back up but kitchen lighting is still not working.
I'm back there tomorrow first thing. Would love to know your thoughts
