If you notice burn marks around your ceiling lights, the first thing you should do is turn off all power to your house to prevent an electrical fire or a shock while you’re troubleshooting the issue.<\/p>\n
Secondly, check to make sure the size and wattage on your light bulb is appropriate for the fixture. Usually the wattage rating for a fixture is printed on the insulator where it screws in.<\/p>\n
Next, ensure that the light was installed appropriately. A loose light bulb is prone to overheating which may be causing the burns on your ceiling.<\/p>\n
If the wattage is correct and it was installed correctly, there may be a complication with the electrical wiring<\/a>. If this is the case, contact an electrician to diagnose and repair the problem. Attempting electrical work without training can be extremely dangerous, so when in doubt, always call an expert.<\/p>\n
