When a bulb blows in my house the very sensitve fuse trips off as well.This happened last night after re-setting the fuse only one of the six bulbs on the circuit went back on.I've checked that the bulbs are ok can anyone please offer an answer please????? Thanks

all new type fuse box trip switches cut out when a bulb blows,cant help you on the bulb prob if you've tried other bulbs in that particular light socket and they don't light up the fault obviously lies in the light fitting

My first instinct is to blame it on a loose connection in that part of the circuit that feeds the 5 non-responsive bulbs. In such a case it's unlikely, but possible, that the extra current drawn when the bulb blew could cause a spark at a loose connection. Such a spark could have caused the loose connection to move ever so slightly, but enough for the wire to lose contact with its terminal. Whether that's the reason or not, it'll need one who knows, preferably armed with a meter, to find out the root of the problem.

Thanks for your answers .I have checked all the connections in the roses,the bulb fittings and the relevant light swiches for looseness,but still no joy!!

When the light bulb goes the filament breaks inside the bulb which can cause a short and the fuse blows.

the fuse does not blow in modern circuitry the earth leak trip switch will flip in the off position

[deggers316]

have you tried a good bulb in the offending rose fitting (one of the six you mentioned)

[codswallop]

Yes I've checked all connections and tried with new light bulbs with no success.
Thanks again!!!

I have solved the problem it was a broken wire that was still inside the plastic covering which made it not so obvious to detect. Thanks everyone for your answers!!!!
