We have all sorts. Some rooms are Halogen downlights, some are LED but the ones I am talking about are incandescent, which give a warmer light.

Have you checked what voltage comes out of your mains sockets?
I had solar panels fitted and the inverter tripped one-day.
So i did a bit of digging and it turned out the mains voltage was set too high at the sub station.
The nearer you are the higher the voltage.
Anyway i contacted the leccy company and they fitted a device in my house that monitored the voltage constantly for 2 weeks. it showed that the voltage reached 265volts periodically.
So they came out and adjusted the tapping in the sub station. All good now.
Lots of appliances are rated to 230v. not the nearer to 250volts from uk sockets.
I probably should have stated, I live above a busy restaurant.
My power never goes off, it is 100% consistent. Would a surge protector do the trick? They seem cheap enough. BTW the amps have gone bang on switch on, they've never gotten past that stage. The Naims have been 100% fine. I did briefly try another Jap amp, some very cheap Yamaha, that was fine too.
