Hi all,
wifeys mum has just had a rewire & inspection/testing in her council house.
They fitted an energy-saving light fitment in her bathroom, but since then she's replaced the bulb about 4 times in 3 months.
As these bulbs are relatively dearer than normal ones, it's a real pain for her.
She's asked the council sparks, but they say it's just a 'cheaper bulbs' problem. Can anyone advise which would be considered NOT the cheap bulbs please ? Last one in was by Pro-lite plus, whoever they are.
BTW I stuck my multimeter in there and it showed 255 then 256 V ac. Is this larger than the +/- nominal voltage . ( can't remember the tolerances )
Cheers,
Pete
