Halogen lights in kitchen

[tandal]

HELP PLEASE!

I recently replaced my kitchen light with one of those halogen light sets that has four lights on the metal bar. According to the instructions I only needed to connect the LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH wired into a little connector box that sits inside the fitting that attaches to the sealing. It worked fine until I switched it of and wanted to turn it on again after a while. The lights didn't come on and it tripped my light circuit so no lights are working. I turned on the trip switch and everything worked fine again apart from 1 halogen bulb. 4 x 50W bulbs installed? Any ideas what is the problem????

Bulb had prob. failed causing trip.

So replacing the bulb will be ok and no other problems will arise? Not to much wattage on the lights etc.?

I had a very similar problem to you. I had installed three sets of three lights in the kitchen and upon switch on, lighting circuit failed. Found one bulb had gone; replaced that and all was fine. A bulb has since blown but no fuse was blown this time.

Thanks for replies. Bought better lamps and no problems so far. Touch wood.
