We've had some on and off (literally) problems with the light fixture on the ceiling fan in the kitchen. Bulbs would work, then stop and restart for no reason.
Close inspection showed that the ceramic lampholders looked heated---it's been here for 20 years but I was still surprised as we've only put 40 or 60 watt lamps in it.
Once the fixture was disassembled, 4 of the 5 lampholders were really, really bad.....and the 5th wasn't far behind.
The worst lampholder had wiring with burned off insulation.
All bright and shiny now :) Will monitor the temperature as I suspect the heating may be with dimmer switch.
