the last few months, we have noticed that two of the four
recessed light fixtures in our kitchen make a periodic popping
sound. It can happen when the lights are on, but most often it
happenss for a couple hours after the lights are turned off.
These fixtures also seem to burn through bulbs in just a couple
of months. When we take the bulbs out, the glass has come right
out of the metal base. The two parts are only connected by the
bulb's internal wires. We, being a little lazy, have just gotten
used to it, but it needs to be addressed now that our house is
for sale. We live in a 4 year old, one story single family home.
Any ideas?   11:22AM | 09/28/04 Member Since: 06/06/03 1250
