Hi. There's a page on this forum about lightbulbs which constantly blow:
//www.diynot.com/wiki/electrics:lighting:problems:failinglamps
I've had a good read of it but I suspect (corrent me if I'm wrong) it relates to the standard 'bayonet' bulb type. In my kitchen there are four recessed bulbs in the ceiling, the screw-in type, 2xR50 and 2xR80. They blow way too frequently especially the smaller, R50, bulbs. I screw them in as tight as possible for a good connection.
Is there a problem with this type of bulb or can anyone suggest a reason for their short lifespan?
My thanks for any replies.
