lights in kitchen have no power

bake_betty

my kitchen has 3 lights that are not working. One dining table light a over the sink light and the main kitchen light which were 6 T12 lights replaced with 6 LEDs (t8's)that required no rewiring. all the wall receptacles have power and are working. Here is what I did so far: -checked the gfci outlets and none of them were tripped but I pushed reset anyways. -went outside to my breaker box and none of those were tripped but I also reset them all...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

All the light switches should have power at all times on one screw. The other screw ahould have power when switched on. According to your description, they don't. That means whatever is feeding the light switches is not doing so. If you have receptacles which are also broken, keep following the chain toward source. You may be a broken GFCI or the GFCI itself may not be getting power. It may be a problem with the neutral. It is almost assuredly one single problem. Double failures are very unusual. If necessary, undo wire nuts and measure voltage on each wire.
