If they are LED's and all gone off, there is probably a power supply unit to
drop supply to 12 volt and this has failed. Should be able to get a generic
one to replace it.

three of the bulbs are LED so no heat issues. 

 

I'll grab the multi meter tomorrow and do some checking

 

thanks all

Sometimes it's just the wire nuts and replacing them or tightening will
help.  Sometimes the internal crimps corrode and fail in a most bathroom.   

 

I had someone who put four 100w bulbs in one and that's a lot of heat and
current.  Most have a 60w limit.  If the bulbs are enclosed by the fixture
there may be a high temp limit switch, but I've never seen one of those in
simple light bars.

Hi Tim 

 

Is it a fluorescent fixture? If so it could be the ballast. It also may be
the switch. I would try a meter at the switch if you have a neutral there to
test it.

 

best,

Hey all, 

 

Is it possible for a fixture to fail? We have this four-bulb fixture over
the mirror in one of the bathrooms. It no longer works. Bulbs are good and
no breaker tripped. 

 

thanks

tim
