Light stopped working, rest of house is fine

[marian]

Hi

Its my fisrt post on this forum so id like to say hallo to everyone willing to help with my situation as i cant afford an electrician to come in and have a look at in my house.

So the story is I came in to my bathroom switched the lights on and just moment after light appeard its gone. So i thought its gonna be a switch in a fuse box so went down to have a look at it and i was actually quite surprised that my fuse box looks rather old and there are no switches at all (only the main one) and it looks like that:



red box on the left is 30A, white is 5A and right one wasnt there at all. Now i dont actually know how to at least test it and what could couse the lights gone in whole house. The rest of the house is intact. Dont get me wrong i do have some experience with electric but not with odl thing like that.

My questions are:
1. Are those red and white boxes are actually fuses? If so and any of them (im guessing its the 5A one for lights) broken is it easy to buy and replace them? Where to buy and how to replace them?
2. Could it be the faulty bulb causing light fault in whole house?
3. Could it be light switch in the bathroom?
4. What else if none of the above?

Thanks for looking and Id appreciate any help from you

Thanks in advance

marian, you seem to have a blinkered view of the world. what harder job earns < £10/hour. perhaps you think digging ditches is harder just because it's perhaps more physically tiring. it's £10/hour because ditch diggers didn't spend 4 years on pocket money training, a pick and shovel does not cost several thousands of pounds, they don't need to run a van, buy all the updates of regulations, do rreams of paperwork each week. GET REAL.

I resent this. I recently completed an 18 day course in ditch digging and my training provider
assured me it was £ 4000 well spent as due to the current national lack of ditch diggers I should be able to easily get a salary of £30000.

I'd say the bulb/lamps has taking fuse when blown.. Change fuse and bulb if you can or ask a neighbour ..

eh?

Marian no offence but it's people like you that get me considerably mad, you can't afford a electrician because we charge so much, but when you take your Mercedes to the garage you can afford the £900 service. Electricians charge what they charge due to the constant money going out, we pay through our nose to be in this trade, vans, insurance, registration schemes, advertising, training etc . Non of it is free, what do you do for a living I can pretty much bet you earn more then me after paying all your tax. And I run too jobs thats how hard up some of us are just to keep cash flow coming in. Call some1 local or teletri his offered you his service at a bloody good price.
