I had an idea to put an old 4 foot flu lamp on top of my kitchen cupboards to give a decent light enough to see to get a drink etc without turning on the main 8 foot flu lamp. The 4 footer was rated at 36 Watts the 8 foot one at 100 Watts so I thought I could leave the little one on for a few hours without racking up my bill too much. Anyhow I left it running this evening I just went out there my kitchen smells of burning and the fitting is super hot it burnt my finger. Also it tripped the RCD For that socket circuit The fitting was on its side whilst lit that should of been OK don't understand why it died. I tried powering it again around 2 seconds after plugging in the rcd tripped again Grrrr
Here at broadgage towers, I have mains voltage lighting track along the middle of the kitchen ceiling, track fittings originally fitted with CFL R80 type lamps and now LEDs. 6 lamps each 8 watts IIRC.
Under the cupboards are two fittings intended for tungsten striplight lamps but fitted with LED lamps. These are on the UPS for power cuts.
In the archway from the kitchen to the former dining room (now a spare bedroom) is a decorative wall bracket with a small LED lamp, also on the UPS.
