| Just got that new ceramic bulb holder (see previous post) spent ages taking viv apart and fitting it and as soon as I plugged it in I heard a popping noise!! The bulb has blown. Just bought this bulb in August so I think it's the new fitting, don't know what to do, gonna have to buy a new bulb but probably a new fitting too. |

| Yeah I've had a ceramic bulb do that before, no idea why it did it. All I can suggest is new bulb and new bulb holder. Take the new bulb back? Might be able to exchange it? |

| Did you wire the holder up correctly? not sure if it makes any difference but the live wire should go to the center contact point and neutral to the outside/threaded contact point |
