Two ring mains in a house should not be a problem as long as they are on the same phase.

Seven lamps in a week is a problem. Bulbs normally blow at power on. I have had the odd one go in 20+ years of owning a house.

I would start with an electrician to do a full check on the wiring and then move on to the electricity supplier. If there is something on the mains blowing bulbs, then the same problem may have damaged the Develo kit.

I have used Develo Ethernet over mains adaptors for years without any problems.

Another point might be that your next door but two neighbour maybe also using them. It depends on the layout of your neighbourhood, but generally speaking every third house up or down the road on your side will be on the same phase.

Sorry can't offer anymore help.
