    Hi all,
    I live in a 2 bed apartment, Lights have stopped working in both bedrooms and en suite bathroom and connected fan not working also.
    Lights ok in remainder of apartment i.e kitchen, living room , hall and main bathroom.
    There is only one breaker for lights but it's not tripped.
    Any ideas of anything else I could check before I call a sparks.
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you sure there isn't another breaker on the board that's tripped? What's written on the board and what has been wired up don't always align, especially if it's a celtic tiger apartment.

    Obviously try replace the bulbs, etc.

    Main concern would be a short or broken wiring caused by flooding from an apartment above or rats chewing on the wires.

    This really does sound like the above post suggests, are they garo MCBs ? They can look to be stuck in the position and people miss this and think they are up. It means it tripped of its like that, and not intentionally switched off

    They need to be switched off ( down) then moved up (on)
