What caused the outage?, voltage may have been low when it came back on?

Not sure what's going on with SOX lately. The ones on the A58 keep popping like corn quicker than they can replace them. Could it be a power spike damaged the lamp?

Shit lamps.
Not the only area where lanterns have been repaired only to be out again weeks later.

That sounds about right. Well that's the lamps out for another year. I think they only do a check in the autumn
