    A surge
    I realize some jobs should be left for the professionals. I want to try with a little help tackle this problem. My lamp post in front gone through over two dozen bulbs in 5 years. I am not sure what is causing the surge to short it out. We bought the house with this problem. I want to fix it.


    Aside from hiring a professional any suggestions?

    Thanks
    Jeff

    Loose connections, vibration and/or corrosion. Bad breaker. Bad lot of bulbs.

    When replacing light bulbs use a film of vaseline or dialectric grease on the base of the bulb.
