    Hi I bought 4 lights from woodies last week and wire them all with a 3core flex and junction boxes and a plug on the end I plugged them into the old living house in the sitting room and it tripped the switch. With this I changed the fuse from a13a to a 3a and a 5a. To see would it make a difference then I took the earth wire out the plug and plugged them in but when turned on and off a few times it tripped 3 out of 5 times And it still went down but not as bad. Worried I plugged them into the kitchen and they work perfect and on a timer and no tripping but want them to work in the back room but what is the problem. ( as I can't include pictures ) on the lights this is written E27 max 60 watt 220- 240 volts 50/60hz and on the hanger that keeps tripping is written 40a 240v~ 50/60 hz that is what is written beside the switch that keeps tripping so can anyone help me I have light thank god !!

    jjjjjjjk, clearly you are attempting to do something that you do not understand properly.
    As you are working with a potentially lethal voltage my advice in the interest of safety is to seek the assistance of a qualified electrician.

    Best of luck.
