Light bulbs have blown in two lamps, have replaced bulbs & checked & replaced fuses and still not working help

Question

Is there anything else that I could check. Have checked the sockets and all ok.

Answer 1

You seem to have the same kind of luck that I do. Call an electrician.

I refuse to tell anyone how many lamps I've gone through in this house in a little over 20 years.

Answer 2

take a good look at the small pins at the base of the bulb sometimes one side is higher than the other if they are the wrong bulbs then they will short accross the connection i had a vaux nova do this but it was great because if you kept your foot on the brake and turned off the ignition the engine would still run!!!

Answer 3

what kind of bulb is it? if it's a regular incandescent light bulb, I have ot suspect it's an over current situation, or a shitty run of bulbs if you got them from the same box. If it's on of those quartz tubes then try not touching the lamp with your fingers, the oils from our skin can cause hot spots and kill it that way cuz it burns so hot.

Answer 4

Have you switched the lighting circuit back on in your Consumer Unit? If you have done this, have you used old or new fuses and are they the correct rating (normally 3 amp) for lamps?

Answer 5

It seem like you could have a live wire going to earth ,make sure the rubber boot is fitted over your lamps and no water is getting in

Answer 6

Check the wires for splits and cuts.

Answer 7

Is there something wrong with the actual lamp??

Answer 8

have you checked the voltage marked on lamps

Answer 9

if your talking about car bulbs,it could be a relay.

Answer 10

battery connection? wires?
