[QUOTE="Russ1109, post: 347589, member: 14160"] Hi, Customer complaining that bulbs are blowing. Fitting is a 3 x spot with 60w R63 spots. Tells me he was having problems previously so got the fitting changed and apparently has only had 3-6 mths use. Fitting is only a cheap plastic type. As this fitting has recently blown 2 bulbs he asked me to look at the wiring. Checked out today and light is linked to a 5ft floro at other end of kitchen on same switch . Checked cable,connections,checked voltage, all fine,Lamp holders in spot fitting all look to be fine. He replaced the fitting with 3 lamps this afternoon. Switched light on tonight and 2 lamps blew so has phoned to tell me Throw fitting and get sumat decent or wot? Anybody else had issues with fittings blowing lamps.I'd told him not to use about cheap lamps. Couldn't be anything to do with the capicitor on the flouro could it? Thanks [/QUOTE]
