[QUOTE="Steve3948, post: 374508, member: 2497"] Something to consider, with the lamp hanging down there will be heat travelling back up through the pins onto the terminal connections. What wattage lamp do you have in the fitting and what is the stated maximum wattage. I have a customer who has a habit of putting the highest wattage lamp she can fit into table lights. This Melts the flex on the connections and blows the fuse, however this may have melted the live insulation which is touching body. Could be incorrect wattage lamp used, just saying. [/QUOTE]
