    Does a external flood light need to be on an RCD ?

    Does a external flood light need to be on an RCD, i was going to spur off a socket in the bedroom, if the fuse board doesnt have any rcd, should an rcd fuse spur be used? or can a normal switch spur be used? Thanks,

    CFL retro fit lamp For 500 watt PIR flood

    I have recently seen a few of these around but never used them. Are they worth fitting instead of the normal tungsten halogen lamps? I get cheesed off returning to a job, just because the lamp has blown in the first week.

    flood lights keep blowing

    I've got a light circuit exclusively for a series of 5x 500W flood lights. They have their own circuit on a 10A MCB. The problem is that the lights keep blowing on a average of 1 each 3 or 4 days and they do take turns. We have tried different bulb makers, no joy. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
