Main information
What it could mean
If the switch responds (clicks) but the light doesn't come on, the fault could be the bulb, the light point itself, or the connection between them.
Safety first
Try a bulb you know works before assuming a more complex electrical fault.
Next step
If the light point still doesn't work with a new bulb, the connection at the point itself or the feeding circuit is worth checking.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check first, the bulb or the switch?
The bulb, since it's the most common and easiest cause to rule out.
Could it be the lamp holder that's failing?
Yes, a common failure point from wear, especially in older fittings.
Is this the same as a lamp not working?
Related; here the switch responds fine, so the fault is further along the circuit.
