Hi Guys
One of the most common complaints I get from our customers is that they go through a lot of bulbs in their properties.
When I get these complaints, I install voltage recorders and if the supply voltage exceeds oour limits (216 to 253V) then I can alter the local transformer to bring it into line.
If the customer lives close to a distribution transformer, they can experience a high average voltage (240V+) but not exceed the threshold.
As all bulbs are manufactured for European 230V systems they tend to get a bit upset when subjected to 240V+ for long periods of time.
Has anyone got any thoughts on how people could get around this problem? One customer told me that he had sourced light bulbs manufactured for 250V systems and they lasted a long time, but I can't find any suppliers who would be able to supply them.
Any thoughts or cost-effective solutions would be appreciated.
thanks
Ian
