I have halogen lights in the bathroom one day they kept flashing on and off and now don't come on at all if you try to switch them on the trip switch for all lights in the house goes off If you turn?

Answer halogen lights get very hot. Bath rooms are very damp places there may be a thermal breaker built in to the light that when it gets too hot (ie- cause it was installed incorrectly,no breathing room above it, insulation stuffed too much around body of light) this may explain the off/on situation. You didn't state how they flashed on/off?

Quick flashing? Off then 25 min later on again? Very imporant!

----call an electrician I don't care if it is a $900/hr guy or your brother-in-law. Get someone/anyone(qualified) to look at it when the breaker at the main box kicks and won't stay on again its a sign that there is a problem. Could be a bad switch,bad light fixture,bad breaker,or.......bad wire How old is the wiring in the house?

Please don't screw around and blow this off. Im no big shot inspector or state code enforcement oficer but I am a son,grandson,brother,husband,& father. If the water leaks you can turn it off and dry off.

If the paint drips you can clean it up later. There is no pause button on an electrical fire. Call someone didn't mean to rant so hard, but fire kills without malace Answer The flickering lights and then the tripping breaker mean that you probably have a short circuit someplace.

Don't try to turn on the breaker again until you have an electrician fix the problem. Trying to turn on the breaker may cause a fire. The breaker is tripping because it is trying to protect your home from burning down.It's cheaper to get if fixed than to replace your home.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
