Hiya,
This is weird, and I've been scratching my head all day - what has even happened here?

I've removed a bathroom cabinet (with its own lighting), but now the rest of the bathroom ceiling lights have no power.
The lights circuit did trip out, but when the fuse box was reset, the rest of the house lights came back on, but not the bathroom.
The cabinet was on the lighting circuit, and even if I reconnect the cabinet now nothing works now. I've checked the wall switch, but it has no live there either.
Two adjoining rooms have no lights problem, the bathroom (6 spotlights) has no power anymore.

What else should I check? Is there any obvious thing that could cause this?
Could there be an additional trip switch for the bathroom lights which isn't on the fuse panel ?
I can't think why one room would failed failed if the others are ok??

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, there might be a fused switch

somewhere nearby and you blew the fuse -

or a loose wire somewhere.

anything is possible , depending on how it was all wired

how was the Bathroom Cabinet light switched ON / OFF

the lights maybe from a transformer - and not all mains lights

the lights and sockets all WORK every where - ITS ONLY the bathroom lights that do not work

nothing else tripped on consumer unit

The lights circuit did trip out,
Tripped what ?

Fused spur anywhere in room or outside - may or maynot have a switch

You're quite right - it was a 3A fuse inside the ceiling fan switch. I never use the fan, so forgot about it being a thing.

Isn't this forum great? I run out of ideas, but someone somewhere can always suggest a solution.

Cheers chaps.
