Hi dadpad, yes, i have tested the lamp in all the sockets in the appartment and it does not operate properly on any of them. I also have other appliances such as TV, HiFi, Microwave, Radio etc all on the same socket line as the lamp and they all work fine.

When you mean power point, i assume you mean the socket switch itself? if so then yes it is switched on, there is power to the lamp, its just that it randomly switch itself on and off.

Ok thanks

If theres a voltage drop type thing happening, wouldnt other appliances that are connected to the same line as the sockets also suffer as a consequence?

I would reccomend a sparky have a look at the appartment.
I think that is probably the most logical idea seeing as im beginning to run out of other avenues.
