The light bulbs are fine newm the plug sockets are showing 250270 vThat’s not high voltage, it’s low voltage
They’re lamps not bulbs
We used the red and black thing that gives you a readingIf you have 270 V between live and neutral then yes, that is a little high. How did you measure this?
Recently changed plug sockets and light switches. Have noticed before this was done we were burning through light bulbs.
A few of our plug sockets are high voltage 250 -270.
Any ideas

I wonder if the OP got this sorted. The thread is over 2 months old.
I measured voltage in a house with my multimeter... got 292v !!
Checked again with calibrated tester - 242v....
Had me worried for a minute.
Must be an ebay multimeter that! Not a 'Flake' is it?
Flake 99 vs Fluke 117
Is there much in it?
They're both yellow...
