Troubleshooting Home Lighting Problem

[Burfameng]

Hi Guys.

I have a problem at home, and it's confusing me!
My light bulbs are blowing, not just the filament fusing, but the whole base EC and BN are also arching through!
Only when we switch on the light bulb, not when it already burning (on).
It has an intense bright light for a split second, then blows!
After replacing the bulb, it works fine for a week or so, then blows again!
This happens with incandecent and energy saving lamps!

A friend told me it could be, Floating Earth!
But I can't make any sense of Floating Earth!
Anyone with advice or a explainition on this fault, or Floating Earth?

Your utility may use Earth as neutral return. This can cause an inbalance in the two phases of a 220 utility. You might try pouring some water on the ground stake, if that's the case.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your home lighting issue. From your description, it seems like you may be experiencing a phenomenon known as "overvoltage." This occurs when the voltage supplied to your light bulbs is higher than the rated voltage for the bulbs, causing them to burn out quickly. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, including faulty wiring or a problem with the power source.

In regards to your friend's suggestion of "Floating Earth," this refers to a situation where the electrical ground is not properly connected or is fluctuating. This can also contribute to overvoltage and lead to issues with your light bulbs. It is important to have a licensed electrician investigate and address any potential issues with your electrical system to prevent further damage and ensure your safety.

I recommend contacting a professional to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. They will be able to properly diagnose and fix the problem, ensuring that your light bulbs do not continue to blow out. I hope this helps and best of luck in resolving your lighting problem.
