Help With Bathroom Light Circuit

[wikkinade]

We have 4 recessed spot lights that have the removable glass plates and the really small 2 prong gy6 bulbs.

Last week when I went to turn on the light none of the lights worked.  I have since checked the connections on the switch, checked all fuse boards and circuit breakers and this hasn't made a difference.  I removed all of the bulbs and they all seem to be in tact and not blown.

There is another light on the lights circuit in the same bathroom and this works fine.

Is there anything else I can check?  I was going to buy all new bulbs but I'm not convinced that this is the issue.

If it was a bulb issue and one of the bulbs doesn't work would that mean all the other bulbs in the circuit wouldn't work either or just that faulty one?

Any help greatly appreciated.

There will be a transformer  somewhere , probably above the ceiling , this may have packed up or tripped out .

+1 with Evans and would I be right in thinking that

in kits like these three lamps only are supplied?

...and you have to be very careful of the wattage of any replacement lamps... if you fit higher wattage than the kit can take then you'll burn out the transformer

Sounds like all four lamps are powered from one transformer. Although this is possible, it is not sensible. Always better to ensure at least two transformers are fitted so that all lights in one room do not fail simultaneously, preferable one transformer per lamp.

Only problem with that is when 1 tranny goes it takes the whole circuit out. Gone are the days of individually  fused items.

Chinese manufacturing cost reductions by any chance??

Recently I had to search a fair bit to get some 600 x 400 lay in grid lights with internal fusing.
