Hi all

Hoping for help if possible!

In our house we suffered a loss of lighting to half of the upstairs of the property. The upstairs lighting and smoke alarm is on one circuit, however the Bathroom, landing and 1x bedroom have lost all lighting, and two other bedrooms have retained lighting.

The lighting in the bathroom (along with the extract fan) had a slight flickering on Friday morning, and we lost the lighting in question at some point later on Monday therefore I can only assume the two are connected.

In terms of the wiring arrangement, I have taken the landing light fitting off (as we were due to replace) and insulated using insulation tape, and the fan is wired via a switched live loop at the fan via a separate switch adjacent to the bathroom lighting switch.

The MCB/RCD did not trip also?

Any ideas?
 
maybe the loss of the lights was before OP dissed the landing light? if so, it's likely to be a loose connection in one of the light roses. if so, not a big job for a sparks to fix. abit far for me. OP needs someone round cannock or stafford way.
 
Thanks for the help telectrix, a mate of mine is coming to investigate tomorrow so all should be well. I took the landing light off after the incident, as it was going to get swapped out anyway...

Many thanks for the productive response, Murdoch. To be expected from a CCTV engineer.

I'm not a CCTV engineer - not sure why that's there BUT you have to admit that you have contributed to the problem?? or is it just the OP is badly written!
 
Not particularly as the landing fitting was wired by a previous owner and doesn't actually work...
 
so the fault is probably there, or at the last working light on the circuit.
