Re: dimmer issue
Right,this dimmer has a triac triggered by an opto coupler and I would bet on a faulty opto as a triac usually dies when a lamp blows.While you've got it open check the snubber capacitors as there was a bad batch of them a few years ago which blow up quite frequently.[Client rings up and says there was a bang and smoke pouring out of dimmer but now it's working fine = snubber capacitor ]
