The additional information requested:
The fixture is halogen, with ten 20 watt bulbs.
The replacement fuses I bought from radio shack (which were blowing) were slow-blow (although just by chance, I didn't know any better).
I think I have effectively made the green wire contact the box by sandwiching it between the screw head and the box, although I could be wrong...
So I had one idea for getting around this current inrush- I could install one of those one-touch electronic dimmers that gradually brings the light on. Would this set things straight perhaps?
I found out my building was erected in 1922, so that might explain the 2-wire fixture job.
The fuse thing is weird, but I just bought this thing from Home Depot, so its not an alien contraption (hopefully).
Thanks as always for the help. I love this board.
