There has been a smell similar to the disinfectant Dettol by the door to the under-stairs cupboard. Last night it was particularly strong. I went to bed mistified.
When my wife decided to come to bed she couldn’t turn the living room lights off. The dimmer switch was very hot and she was concerned. She decided to trip the consumer box switch for the downstairs lights.
As you can see above, the dimmer switch has melted and given up the ghost. We buried it with full honours.
