Default Four dead spotlights in living room

Hi all,

We have a set of four recessed spotlights in the living room. They
are currently dead. I turned them and they fizzled straight out.

I turned them on at the adjustable light level switch. There is also
another normal switch at the other side of the room which just
switches them on and off.

The adjustable switch has two switches on it.... the other side
controls an additional two spotlights, and these are working fine.

I have:

1. Checked the fuse at the box (One fuse for all lighting, so all
good)
2. Replaced all four bulbs as a test (in other installations in the
house if one bulb
goes the others stay running though).

What is the next thing to look at? My guess would be that the
adjustable switch itself has gone, but are there other possibilities?

Thanks,

Tris.


any part of the system might be at fault, a multimeter would enable
you to narrow down which bit. As said the dimmer is probably the most
likely culprit, but I'd still get a meter rather than guess, it'll
work out similar price ane be useful many times in future.
