Help - Lights tripping breaker when they blow

I recently installed a new consumer unit and migrated my (currently
completely standard, not automated in any way - yet !) lighting circuits to
it.

The old CU had 5A Type B breakers (the plug-in replacement for a
traditional
fuse type). The new CU has 6A Type B breakers. Every time a bulb has blown
since being on the new breaker it's tripped it (just the individual
breaker). I've seen this in many other people's houses. Is there any way to
prevent it ? It drives SWMBO mad.
