Lucky this house hasnt burnt down
I got a call from client saying there was a big arc came from one of the light fittings. This was caused by a halogen type light fitting which has gotten very hot over the years and has almost caught the ceiling on fire. The excessive heat has also melted the tps cables and caused bare copper to be exposed which caused the arcing which the client described.
The solution is to install Modern type LED light fittings which are much more energy efficient, brighter and produce much less heat so the above picture would never occur from an LED type light Fitting.
If you have any old type halogen or incandescent type light fittings, consider getting them replaced. Call Clearwater Electrical on 02040972667 for enquiries.
