Head scratcher
wired external up and down wall lights with 3c &E via a switch for both sensor and switchable lights joining the loop feed through where it's not required. I've an intermittent fault that I'm struggling to identify. I'm not having any issues with the switched lights as when the loop permanent feed is disconnected from source, the switched fittings work as they should. Done the usual checks for loose connections, water ingress, damaged cables etc but cannot see anything untoward. Thought maybe one of the sensor lights could be faulty so changed both (only 2 wait sensors out of 8 fittings), but still having the issue. 6amp MCB supplying the circuit with all fittings being 10w LED downlights or 10w GU10 LED lamp. Can't be a load issue as the fault still occurs with only the minimum amount of lights switched on.
No timing as to when the circuit will trip as had them all on for around 6 hours before I left last night with nothing tripping to receive a message from the customer complaining of the lights being out when she arrived home from work!!!!
