Stuck spotlights

  • How do you define a circuit?

    All of the lights in my flat are controlled by one fuse. Only kitchen and bathroom have spots, is it only them that are affected?

    just thought i could share this with you all if you dont change a spotlight straight away when they blow that it actually shortens the life expectancy of the other spotlights that you have on the circuit.

    Sorry but this is a load of tosh & makes no sense in electrical theory.

    hi supernova yes it is only spots that it affects.
    cagey this has nothing to do with electrical theory it is the way that they work informed about by a very knowledgeable person(lighting specialist) seeing as i had hundreds of the things to instal when i was doing the electrics for a very large private plastic surgery hospital.

    this would be the case if they were low voltage and fed off a transformer that is the same as saying if you turn the dining room lights off the living room lights will not last as long ...True for low voltage fed off a transformer absolute tosh for mains fed lighting
