Hi.
We have 5 light fittings downstairs. They are three bulb chandelier type in the living room and hall, four bulb in the dining room, a single bulb under the stairs and a three bulb IKEA one in the kitchen with low wattage (think they are led).
When we have more than two bulbs in the dining room then there is always a chance one will go and plunge the house into darkness. This happens whether any other lights are on or not. It happens more often with four bulbs than with three.
I thought it might have been wired up badly last time we decorated but it wasn't and I think it had been happening before then anyway.
We have just had the dining room ceiling replastered due to a leak (we have had a leak like this before many years ago so maybe that hasn't helped?) So I removed the light fitting. After a while the hall light popped and did exactly the same...it has never done this before.
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this? Would switching to led bulbs help at all? We use normal 60w filament bulbs downstairs apart from the kitchen I think.
Thanks very much.
