Blowing Light Bulbs

2106 Views 9 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  Hardly Working
Okay so here's the deal I'm sent out to a house to finish a remodel and install a set of ceiling lights. So I go ahead and hook up the lights and after a couple days I threw a couple bulbs in them. After a day or two when I come in the morning I flip the switch and pop there goes another bulb. So I changed it out for another bulb and a few days later pop. Voltage is not that high only at 112-118 volts.
Ideas? :sad:

Three possibilities---

1.Crummy bulbs

2.Wrong voltage bulbs---(low voltage with chandelier base)

3.Loose neutral on a multi wire branch circuit.

D. vibration .
My Sparky went with #3 but I have to trace it.
Let me guess.... Phillips light bulbs?... :whistling
Were you at the lumber yard when I bought them? Are you stalking me?
