I've had my single light fitting in the dining room replaced with 8 x 50w halogen downlighters. I have also had a 400w dimmer fitted to control them. In addition I've got 4 x 50w halogens in the bathroom plus a 3way light in the kitchen. The problem is that the bulbs keep blowing, and when I have the kitchen lights, the bathroom lights and the dining room lights all on the fuse trips! I've checked and its a 5A fuse on the fusepanel. I'm thinking that the extra lights is overloading the circuit which is why I've got througn so many halogne bulbs and have had to replace the dimmer? Can I just upgrade the fuse on the fusebox to 10A or is there something more I need to do? Help gratefully received.

By the way the fuse for the lights on my mcb has a button on it, the halogens are 240v mains, 50W jobs not the ones with transformers.
