i have a problem with 3 of the downstairs lights in the house,when i switch 1/all of them on they might stay on for only 3 mins or sometimes as long as 30 mins but eventually they go off and 1 of the switches on the fuse box goes down.if i flick the switch back up and turn the light(s) back on the same thing happens again. anyone know what the problem might be and if i'd be able to fix it meself? if not is there anyone on here that could come out and have a look at it for me?
Are they low voltage lights if so the transformer might be over heating. One cause for this is if you changed a bulb and put in a larger wattage one.
just seeing your reply now mate. to be honest i don't know cos i'm not living in the house at the mo,i just got that txt from the girl that's living there on friday. i told her i'd try and get it sorted by tomorrow. i'll txt her now and see what bulbs she's using..
i rang her and she said the only bulb she changed was in 1 of the upstairs bedrooms so i doubt if that's the cause. anyone have any ideas?
most likely faulty wiring if the lights keep blowing, just check and see are all the wires connected properly
