Lamps blow within a few days - suggestons for possible faults?

S

SpannerSpark

Hi all
I have a job in a week or so time where the householder has two separate rooms with the same wall light fittings (with Silvania 40W E14 Edison screw type candle shape lamps). She has 8 fittings in each room and says that the lamps blow after perhaps 1 to "a few" days. Apart from chronic overheating or a batch problem with the lamps can anyone suggest another fault?. My plan was to inspect the fittings and do a full test on the circuit or circuits, perhaps try another make of lamp (its a big house not sure if two rooms are on the same lighting circuit yet).
If anyone has any other possible faults from their experience i would be much obliged.
tks :confused:
 
Glad the advice was helpful spannerspark . Sounds like you have set up a good test regime to me. Please keep us posted, because I would like to know what conclusions you come to at the end of your trial.
