GU10s popping the circuit breaker

[oldtimer]

Ok Looking for a bit of feedback here as I do work for a letting agent I am getting a common problem reoccurring with GU10s ie when they go they sometimes trip the circuit breaker ie type B 6 amp.

Now I have checked the circuits and fittings out and these lamps can be plugged into a track or a ceiling downlight. So has anybody else have the same problem and would changing the CB to a type C cure this type of nuisance tripping.

yeah, absolute rubbish, and until, the 4/5 watt come down in price, i can't see many people taking them up. they're just getting over the cfl con. ( 9w equivalent to 100w my a**e. better light from a match).

9w = 50 watt so I tell people to get the next size up ie 100w = 20w no get 23w
