Maybe the replacement bulb wasn’t good? Did you try one of the working bulbs in the socket that had the burnt out bulb in it? It’s a shame to lose that nice chandelier. But the new simple fixture is nice too. We used to have one like your new one in our dining room and I replaced it with a chandelier about 10 years ago and replaced the on/off switch with a dimmer switch. Looks like you did a nice job Dave.

Well what happened was, I turned it on and one bulb was burned out, so then after replacing it, none of the bulbs came on...
I bought this beautiful light fixture more than ten-years-ago and I totally loath the idea of parting with it...
I'm quite certain what I put in works, but just as I heard that faint 'pop' as I turned it on to find all but the one bulb (it had a broken filament in it, while the rest remained intact) still lit...
However, after putting in that new bulb, and turning it on, the entire unit failed to go on... I heard another "pop" after which it had still just hung there dark and dead as a door-nail...
I have a dimmer switch there, too, none of the breakers tripped, (and resetting clocks and even my computer and phone and other communicative electronics proved not to have bothered there--though I had to trust there was nothing electrically-active when I unwired ands took down the fixture and wired in the new one, putting it up without a shock, while relying on the switch to be fully off)...
Just saw the opportunity to troubleshoot a little with it and needed light...
That desk lamp that tipped over with an ordinary incandescent bulb got put on another desk without a bulb in it after it had been taken off, and then I realized it, now stable, I could light that part of the room, the den, with the LED incandescent that was underneath that chandelier in the spotlight housing via a three-way-switch... And that also failed to illuminate down there as well...
Maybe I will take the whole thing to a lamp/lighting repair store to see what it can do...
