Why do my lights keep tripping the fuse box?
the downstairs lights keep tripping the switch in the consumer unit, usually when I flick them on. it resets fine but its happening most days now. is that a bulb or something worse?

"Hi Joyce, This could be a number of things. It may be a loose connection in the back of the switch or some muck inside. Alternatively it may be a faulty bulb aswell.
You could try the bulb yourself but i would recomend an electrician to look at the switch if the bulb doesnt work."
