Sounds like a problem with your circuit breaker. I is tripping
and then resetting itself. I think this is common when the
CB becomes older. Try putting a current meter in place of the
CB and check the total load of the lamps when you turn them
on. If it is more than 15 amps (I think that is the rating for
the CB) than there is something shorted in the circuit. If it
is under 15 and the CB still trips, replace it!
