ceiling lights in bathroom go off Then30 mins later will come back on.?

Question

It does have a box type fitting connected to it.

Answer 1

You need to check the TOTAL wattage of all lamps connected to the transformer, and compare this to the current or Va rating of the transformer. If the load is higher the transformer will overheat and cut out, then cool and repeat the cycle. If this is the case you will need to reduce the lamp wattage or put in another transformer for one or two of the lights. I dont know how many are installed??

Answer 2

Jayktee96 is right, if the lights were installed by using B&Q, wickes systems etc then it is likely that the transformer is not rated high enough as a lot of these sets come with low wattage halogen bulbs and when we replace them with higher "white light" bulbs the transformer cuts out. Get a sparky to upgrade the transformer shouldn't cost much more than a ton and you can bathe in peace.

Answer 3

I'd say typically Cancer, although I'm a Cancer and extremely extroverted so who knows? The problem with both Cancer and Pisces is they are the signs with the most variety in personalities. Cancer because the common traits that Cancers share are actually latent traits, the "shell" of a Cancer, or the part that most people see, could be anything. As for Pisces, being the last sign Pisces has picked up traits from every sign to come before it and they are very adaptable. Even with one Pisces different people will see that person completely differently because of how easily they adapt their personality to who they're with. Scorpio, being a fixed sign, is typically not supposed to be shy though, so I can't say Scorpio either. Cancer or Pisces, although it depends on the individual. Cancer actually has the highest number of extroverts in it as compared to the other water signs, but somehow people still see the sign of Cancer as shy.

Answer 4

Don't guess - it is too dangerous. You can get the whole place
burn down.
Just get someone in the know to check on the lights contacts ,etc.
And that is a bathroom - full of wetness.
Human ,Water and Electricity don't mixed at all but provide fatal attraction.
Do it soon !

Answer 5

sound like it's a transformer problem if there is no problem with insulation then you need new lights the regulations regarding electricity in bathrooms is changing so it could be a good time to get an electrician in to sort it out

Answer 6

Many recessed lights have temperature sensors. The better models, rated for direct contact with attic insulation, almost always do.

They'll overheat and cycle on and off if you install too large a bulb. Check the label--most are only rated for 60W.

Waterproof fixtures are particularly bad about this. The glass enclosure doesn't let heat escape.

Answer 7

The fire risk with household wiring is too great to guess at! Time to call in a professional electrician to correct this problem.

Answer 8

fit a window fan heat is trapped in the ceiling.

Answer 9

Transformer powered lights????? Overheating - auto safety feature to switch them off when they get hot - needs more ventilation/cooling.

Answer 10

I agree with the transformer overheating . you probably have insulation to close to it or the bulb holder. remove it to allow ventilation as suggested earlier. should clear the problem.
