Paul's the Man on this. I saw this article when I was looking for a replacement for my blown HY3660B dimmer and sent it to Paul for repair. It was back working within days! Great price and fantastic service! Would recommend Paul highly.

Just to add to the thread below, I can highly recommend Paul's service - he fully soak tests the units before returning them and is as good as his word! (Even provided photos and detailed rewiring instructions for an electrical novice like me!)

If the Dimmer is an HY3660b send it to Paul in Northern Ireland and he will repair it good as new. That's what I did. Excellent service and real quick. You can definitely trust him, I did and he did a great job really quick. Fantastic value too. Thanks a million Paul. Very satisfied.

I can repair these Hytec 3360 Dimmer Controls for £12 + return postage if you want to send it to me. Or if you feel confident with doing the electronic repair yourself, I can supply a kit of parts for £6.50 + carriage of £1, with instructions, but you will need a soldering iron, a drill to remove the Triac existing pop rivet to get the heat sink off and a pop rivet gun to rivet the heat sink back on after replacing the Triac.

Replacment parts are not available for mother and child lamps. However i can do modifications to these lamps to get them going again
when a bulb blows the back emf can take out the thyristor in the dimmer,as peccavi has said,you wont get a dimmer to replace the fitted one,but,you can get an in-line dimmer you just fit to the mains cable on your light,it has either a slider control,or a small rotory switch,

Ah! - It's just dawned on me...
It's not you mother and your child that wrecked the bulb - the bulb and the dimmer in your Mother-and-Child lamp have failed. Where can you get a replacement dimmer to fit?
I doubt you will.
A new lamp or arrange for an external dimmer I would guess. Ignore my previous - total rubbish.
Good luck...

It is rare for a mother and grandchild to conspire to destroy a light bulb - light bulbs usually destroy themselves.
You can get a dimmer switch at most places that sell regular switches - electrical shops - DIY stores.
Be sure that you take note of all the lamps connected to that dimmer - add up their total Wattage.
The number on the switch has no special significance.
