I have replaced a ceiling rose with a 5-light pendant.
Whilst the light works, after 20mins or so there is a feint burning smell followed by flickering of the lights.
Any Ideas ?  |

Ideas? Yes you have a fault, if you have the test equipment and the knowledge start fault finding, if not call an electrician.
Electricity is not llike painting by numbers. It will kill, be safe not dead. __________________ "Shock me again and I'm gonna turn you off"

I wouldn't class flickering and giving off a burning smell as "working".
I'd class that as "something that could easily burn your house down if you don't get it sorted immediately" __________________ I mustn't warn people that the "experts" on the plumbing forum can't be trusted to tell the truth. |
