Hi Guy's, im looking for a little professional guidance,
I have recently replaced my kitchen lighting from compact fluorescent and GLS lamps with LED down lights and strips.
Both switched from a double wall switch, single pole.
The entire down stairs lighting circuit is protected by a MEM M6 Type 1 5A RCD.
The down light circuit is on one switch and the LED strips on the other.
The down lights do not cause an issue.
The strips trip the RCD approximately 5 times out of 10 on switch on, however if the light switch is left in the on position the RCD resets with no re-tripping and the strips operate with no other problem.
The total wattages are both much lower than the previous lighting circuit.
I have checked each strip for short circuit but all operate perfectly on there own.
I am thinking the 12v constant voltage drivers are causing a spike/In rush?
would changing my RCD be the answer?
I thank you in anticipation of your assistance
Best regards
Papawhitt
