I came home from work today and the lights in my upstairs bathroom and downstairs bathroom do not turn on. The power outlets in both bathrooms have power running through them and work, but the lights do not go on.

All the lights and everything else in the rest of the house work as normal. I checked the circuit breakers and nothing was switched, but I turned them all off and on anyway, but still same problem. Lights worked fine in the morning.

Does anyone have an idea as to what my problem would be or how to fix it?

Have you put a meter on anything to check voltage?

No, I havent. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks.

Relentless, since you're really not familiar with electrical work it may be wise for you to call a professional. No insult intended here, just safety.

EDIT: Look around for a tripped gfci receptacle.
