Hi, I am not a pro at working with lights or electricity.
I have a vanity mirror in the bathroom composed of 5 light bulbs. Out of the 5 light bulbs, I only had three light bulbs in because one of them was bright enough to not use all 5 of them.
Two of the bulb slots did not work and I found this out after one of my bulbs went out. While the other lights were on, I had attempted to use metal plies to straighten out a metal piece in a bulb fixture so that there would be a good chance that the bulb could be read properly because I had a similar problem where I was shown to do this so that a lamp would work again. However, when I did this with the vanity mirror, all the lights immediately went out and the bathroom stopped running. I checked the circuit breaker and I found nothing out of whack from that. The electric plugs in the bathroom still work though.
Am I going to have to get an electrician, and if so, what might be a reasonable ball park charge? Would I have to consider replacing the entire light fixture or circuitry of wires? Thank you for reading.
