I'm all good with DC but don't know shit about (nor want to really mess with) AC lighting.
Kelly and I have recently moved into a new home and I'm having trouble with the heat lamps in the bathrooms. The both bathrooms have Nutone 9422P-R01 dual bulb heat lamp fixtures installed in the ceiling but only the master bath had bulbs installed. I soon figured out why as even without the bulbs installed, the unit in the hall bathroom pops the GFI enabled outlet in that bathroom within 20 seconds. However, when I reset the GFI and turn the heater lamp back on again (again, no bulbs in this one), it continues to run without tripping the breaker again for at least a minute or so...which is how long I continued to stand there and wait.
Now the one in the master has both 250W bulbs installed and it turns on normally (cooling fan and all) but after a few minutes, it shuts itself off. A few more minutes pass and it turns itself back on. Am I to assume this is normal and based on the temperature of the unit and/or the bathroom itself? I don't recall ever experiencing a heat lamp setup that did something like this.
Any help is appreciated. :thumbup
