[QUOTE="phil d, post: 475603, member: 27126"] See what I mean, talk about half a story. kitchen lights reminds me of one a couple of years ago, a mate's daughter had bought a house, it was one of those terraced jobs with a single story extension comprising kitchen and bathroom. They'd been in about a month and some of the downlights in the kitchen weren't working, of course they'd replaced the lamps, they still didn't work, oh and overnight there'd been another development, it had snowed heavily and there were little round patches on the flat roof that had no snow on them, could this be significant? I popped round, they're only down the road, I went into the back bedroom and looked out, sure enough, there were about a dozen clear patches in the snow-covered roof, odd! I went into the kitchen and the patches coincided with the working downlights, I removed a faulty one and noticed that not only was the wiring melted, but the insulation was packed tightly around the fitting, it was the same with them all, cue a bit of reworking, and replace the lights with LED ones. and people wonder why there are fires.
