Jun 18	comment	Why are my downlights constantly blowing? I tried handling the globes correctly and they have now lasted over a week. I checked the packaging and the need for correct handling is not mentioned! Thanks :)

May 30	comment	Why are my downlights constantly blowing? @Niall C: It looks like you might have the answer - make it an answer and if the bulbs last a week I'll accept it :)
May 30	comment	Why are my downlights constantly blowing? @Niall C:Thanks for the insight - Yes they are halogens and I had no idea that they had to be handled without touching. Following your comment I did a bit of research and found that the grease left by fingers can burn, increasing the heat and causing the globe to blow.
