Why are the lights failing
Together with end of service life and basically old age and to be fair CEC did a good job specifying quality light fittings. Also after 35-40 years and 140,000-170,000 hours of running time can take its toll. Furthermore older inefficient light fittings can shorten the lifespan of the lamps/tubes.
Example of stair light problem
Old tenement properties stair lights have been fixed to the thick plaster walls via short fixing screws. Additionally if the lights are knocked via a contractor or delivery firm this can put strain on the wiring causing the circuits to trip. AEW will refix these free of charge on a relamp or a LED conversion
