OP's OP!
Still voting for the MCB!
Well, that's a little embarassing. Nothing like reading the question properly, is there?

get the bulbs changedLittle update on this. Tried on a different circuit, all be it this one has a 16amp mcb. 5 bulbs in. Switch on. Pop. That's the end of that.
So kinda ruling out the dodgy mcb from before?
get the bulbs changed
Primarily because a C breaker allows for a much higher current inrush than a type B and it's unfathomable that a bunch of LED lamps could require that kind of protection, so it might mask (probably will!) a far more serious problem with the circuit.No idea. I'm at a wits end. I mentioned earlier about changing to a type C breaker but someone advised against this. Any reason why?
Hoping to hear back from the supplier sooner rather than later
what bulbs are they can you get a set of 5 from poundland leds ones just to try them in the holders see if it blows with differnt bulbs in ?
this is why theres no way the current draw is 5 to 10 times the breaking current unless there is a fault and it appears that there is so you don't just go banging bigger breakers in or higher starting current c type in https://thegrid.rexel.com/en-us/for...een-type-b-c-and-d-miniature-circuit-breakersNo idea.
