I have a 6' light in front of my house. It literally blows up a 40 watt bulb every couple of weeks. Any ideas on troubleshooting this problem?
Thanks jkeck@worldnet.att.net

Another disposal question

on May 10, 2000

Lefty, you responded that I should put the disposal on a dedicated circuit, is this something that i should try to do myself or should i hire a trained electrician?? I know very little about things like this!

GFI breaker tripping

on May 11, 2000

I have a GFI circuit breaker that is tripping for no apparent reason. It happened occasionally before but is happening regularly now. It supplies the garage and outside outlets. The breaker resets fine but seems to trip without anything on the line being used. Any thoughts on whether it is likely a bad breaker or if I should have an electrician look for something else?
