Hello,
In one room, and only one room the light bulbs blow every few weeks.
I've replaced the light switch and the ceiling rose and pendant. I've tried various bulbs of various qualities and types (standard, low wattage, etc) and the same bulbs are fine in other rooms.
It can't be the lighting circuit as it's not the end room, so unless there's a logical explanation the only thing I can think of that's left is the wire from the switch to the rose?
I have a new consumer unit, re-wiring was completed about 10 years ago and the light circuit is a standard multi-point radial circuit (all via ceiling roses - with spot lights in the landing) with nothing else attached and covers about 10-15 bulbs, most of which are 30-50w attached to a 5amp breaker running on 1.5mm cable.
