Lighting trouble

[gastec]

This is a question about my lounge light

We have a dimmer switch and the light has 3 bulbs.. Last year a bulb blew and the dimmer switch blew at the same time. I thought this odd but replaced both..i since learnt that the dimme switch has a fuse..

last week another bulb blew...i changed it..then the bulb next to i blew.. 2 days later, i changed that,,,finally the 3rd bulb blew a da after that ,,,,i was carefull to change like for like regards bul watage.....

ANY IDEA'S ANYONE??? apart from....oh i think its gremilins or indeed the wee people fro irelan

If the light is on about 2 hours per day average one complete bulb change per year would be about right.

Often the lamp will kill a dimmer when it blows.

Bulbs have about the same life. Yours seem to have been very close. You should be good now for a long time before any additional replacements.

I am from Ireland and I am not all that large, but honest, I did not do it.
