I came home from work tonight to my dining room light not working. It is a single switch to a single light fixture.

I checked the bulbs and breaker. Bulbs are good and breaker has power. The outlets powered by the same breaker have power.

I used a pen style voltage detector and I have no power to the switch or the bulb receiver on the light.
 
TL;DR
Light not working. Outlets and breaker have power. Magic pen detects no power at switch or light.
