Did they use less than good quality bulbs to save on construction costs?
Light bulbs are constanly burning out
Frequently, when I switch light-switches on, I burn out light bulbs and at times a breaker jumps.
I am preparing to purchase new tube amps, (I currently have a ss amp). I am worried that these surges may cause damage to the new tube gear.
I live in a newly constructed building (4yrs old) which is shared with 5 other tenants. Throughout the building in the hallways and such, there are always burnt out bulbs. Bulbs last less than 6 month on average (incandescent, halogen and fluorescent)
This seems to occur randomly, last time was in the evening 8pm, whereas the time before it was at 4:45 am.
Need I be worried?
What can be done to solve the root of the problem?
What can be done to mitigate the risks? I already have a surge protector but I only have my Pre-amp, TT & TV plugged into it. I find the amp sounds better straight in the wall.
