Hi all

Have I made a mistake in my choice of light fitting?

I wanted near instant fairly bright light for the hallway, so bought a
fitting with 4 halogen spots.
It has the usual 1/2in deep circular termination cover tight to the ceiling,
then a shaped rod along which the spots are mounted.
This thing goes through bulbs about one every 6 months.
Are halogens susceptible to vibration (i.e. foot fall on the landing above)?

If so what type/style of fitting would be more appropriate in this
application?

Thanks

Phil

Check your voltage with a quality instrument. You may find it's way
over the top. Mine was. (I was going up to 258 volts sometimes.)
This will bugger up incandescent lamps of all descriptions but esp.
halogen ones.
