So we have one bedroom, a laundry room, bathroom and then another bedroom all in a row on one side of our home. The one bedroom where we installed the regular flip switch works fine. The next three rooms, which would be bathroom, laundry room and this room with the dimmer are all without lights.

I’m not sure. I did turn it off twice and restarted as well as flipped each breaker. I think it’s either a wire I disconnected or possibly I didn’t connect the hot wire.

I actually shut off the main breaker because I’m paranoid:)

Thank you. I really appreciate this. I’m just really hoping it’s safe for now.

Nothing to do with lights. Half our house has no lights right now and only room is on a dimmer.

Yes that is what I thought because the lights I wanted to remove were a complete removal. All the wiring etc. And disconnecting things from the electrical panel. That is very different than just swapping two light switches. In any case i will try one more thing in the morning and if it fails will just call back the electricians.

Thank you. I will look at this tomorrow and if I can’t fix will just call back the electrician. I’ve capped everything and put a plate on it for tonight

Ok thanks I will try that!

I asked a question about removing lights and when someone went through the steps of how to do so, we decided that was risky and hired an electrician. Asking a question out of curiosity doesn’t mean I went ahead and did it. It was to see if it was possible. But maybe you didn’t read the actual post.

Clearly. We always have electricians do our work. They just finished our whole house. I’m not an idiot. I just wanted to swap out one light switch without waiting for weeks and calling them back. The breaker is off and the wires capped so I’ve taken the safety measures necessary. Unless I’m missing one and you actually want to be helpful in your commentary.

Yea I flipped the main breaker to be safe. Flipping it back on didn’t do anything for that circuit and all the switches are correct.
