[QUOTE="EmmaWa, post: 501147, member: 33115"] Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this. All electricians that have visited have been stumped, so just hoping someone knows what's going on and can save our next guy some trouble. - Occasional very loud banging, "electric buzz" and flashes above a recess light fitting (including when light is off). Other lights around the house flicker at the same time. Occasional "puk" sounds with flickering from lights in another room. - Following a very big bang, fuse blows off for upstairs sockets and boiler. One guy replaced the fuse but didn't find the initial problem. Fuse blown off again. - One guy suggests it could be an old gas bulb on its way out, in the room next to the first light fitting. This room is ground floor with roof and a large climbing plant above it. Potential rain damage following storm? Gas bulb removed but bangs and sparks continue. It is definitely not an animal causing the banging - it is definitely an electric bang noise. Please help! Has anyone heard of something like this? [/QUOTE]
