Well I went out there last night and spent about 5 Minutes on the problem. Most of them to put on the tool belt and set up the ladder. Looked at the switch first.....dimmer with an air gap in the wrong position. FLicked it over and wallla....instant action. One bulb burned out (aka the supposedly blown up bulb). Why do I always forget about the stupid airgap switch? Thanks for the responses and the help. Glad but at the same time not that it was something so simple.
