Bathroom Halogen bulbs not working again....

[MikeDee]

they have stopped working again!

last time was caused by a small section of melted wire into a junction box, which the spark replaced. It all worked fine for months until the other day. Switch on and nothing.

Ive been up to have a look above the lights and nothing is burnt this time. All connections appear to be solid too. The lights are free from any lagging etc.

One bulb looks a little black and may have blown. Would this cause the circuit to fail? I took out the offending bulb but still no luck. Would steam from the bathroom shower cause thes elights to fail? The bulbs arent the proper ones needed for bathrooms/shower rooms, but they have worked for years with no problems....

Any thoughts?
Thanks

Yes - I think you should not have created this new topic immediately after making the identical post in your previous one.

Cheers mate, was thinking along these lines. Keep it simple.

Yes, It seems from the number of queries these downlights are nothing but trouble.

Fashion is a strange phenomenon.

Fashion is a strange phenomenon.

Indeed.

But not necessarily in a bad way...

I get nothing but admiring glances when I go out in the top left outfit.
And the 'bottom' one.
