    Ceiling light maximum wattage

    Im not, Im comparing the Lumens you get from the new LED bulbs I have put into the current fitting recently, with the lumens you get from a new 3W bulb. Also the current fitting is an exposed candle bulb fitting, with the new being a frosted enclosure fitting, so if anything I'll need more...

    Ceiling light maximum wattage

    I get that 3W LED is the EQUIVALENT of 28W Hallogen, what Im getting as is we have a 5 or 6W 5-bulb fitting currently and want a new fitting that puts out the same amount of light as that, and I dont understand why unless there is some custom circuitry inside, you cant put 5x5-6W LEDs in a...

    How is this lighting fault even possible?

    The switch was my second thought, however I dont get how this impacts two other lights on independent switches, while not impacting every light on the circuit.

    How is this lighting fault even possible?

    Got a weird fault I am trying to diagnose, and its twisting my brain... The living room light flashed on switch-on, then wont come on. OK a bulb probably blew, check the Lighting fuse on the RCD, nope (reset it anyway just in case), new bulbs dont work, definitely not the bulbs... Two other...
