A neighbour has a through lounge with a centre ceiling light (chandelier type) at both ends as well as 2 wall lights at both ends of the room (6 fittings in total). They are controlled by a 3 gang dimmer switch, 1 for each centre light and 1 for all 4 wall lights. All of sudden none of these lights work. All I had to test with on a quick visit was a neon driver. The switch has a permanent feed and is switching as it should. I took 1 of the chandeliers down but wasn't getting a live line there, although was showing a dim reading on neon on all 3 terminals (live,neutral and earth). As a quick test made a lead up with a plug at 1 end and connected to centre light terminals when plugged in all the wall lights worked and switched as they should, centre lights, nothing. Each light is connected by trailing lead so no access to main wiring from ceiling and upper floor is covered by fitted hardwood flooring (no access). RCB isn't tripping and nothing has been touched recently, so I'm told.
Any ideas as what is causing this fault, how it can be traced and how to rectify.
