My reason for asking is that every time one of the bulbs goes in my
kitchen light it takes out the fuse on the lighting circuit with it and
out go the downstairs lights. I'm getting a bit fed up of rewiring the
fuse.

Sounds like the circuit is running very close to its limit. Have you
calculated the maximum load?

No but I'd be surprised if it was at it's limit. The most recent
failure happened when no other downstairs lights were on. Unless
there's something hanging off the circuit that shouldn't be there, of
course.
