Low-voltage lighting
Jul 23^rd, 2008, 8:53am

I have an open plan lounge kitchen with 6 flush fit spot lights in the kitchen and one standard light in the living room controlled by a double switch. I changed this switch to a double dimmer and looks like I have blown something as none of the lights work, the dimmer is burnt out. I have put the standard switch back on and nothing happens now, no lights and it doesn't trip the fuse just nothing! please help. Huh
