Mumsnet style am I being unreasonable post:
I bought some dimmable LED bulbs from Screwfix a year and a half ago with a three year warranty. They're LAP (Screwfix own brand).
Today one died, tripping our consumer unit. When I switched it back on the dimmer switch (also bought from Screwfix but in 2012) had stopped dimming. I'm sure this is because the bulb failing (and probably shorting) meant that the rated wattage of the switch was exceeded before the consumer unit tripped.
AIBU if I ask Screwfix to replace the dimmer as well as the bulb? Their faulty bulb blew it up after all?
