Dont know if there is a solution but the bulbs at the top of the stairs seem to blow more times than any other, the light is on the usuall two way switch, the light bulb to the upstairs fitting blows quite regular old and new energy bulbs!
The circuit seems fine and the mcb usually trips but not always. is it just gremlins or can i check anything. must be over 5yrs since the electrics where last tested by a proper lecky but its always been happening? curiouse.

Does seem odd that this one bulb should keep blowing, I'd be tempted to check the security if connections at bothe switches and the ceiling rose..if there are no problems there, do either of the switches feel stiff or slack?..

Thanks Wine~o
Will do a check tomorow but got a feeling all will be fine, good excuse to get the testers out lol.

could be a loose connection in the rose causing extra resistance, have a similar situation in my kitchen, just gotta find a spare 10 mins at home to dig deeper

checked all switches all fine but one loose screw on live terminal downstairs. could have been the problem. time will tell. old wire system and nothing sleeved is now though.

I had the same problem. It was all due to loft lid being opened and knocking the lamp. I renewed the fitting with a battery backed florescent fitting so the stairs are lit when we have a power cut and a couple of months ago I had to renew the tube after 10 years plus of use.
