No power to post lights

[Springtime]

There is no power to post lights outside. Nothing is tripped at the box. They stopped working a few weeks ago.

how have you checked that there is no power?
Just L - N?

 

[Markyd]

Are they on a timer, a pir or a switch

No they are not. Sensor. There is no powers to the wiring.

So where are they fed from....a junction box or a switched fused spur inside.....
How do you turn them on

From box. Turned on via switch by front door all electric working. Just my 6 outside post light zero power to those wires

 

[telectrix]

poor connection at switch? even at panel. 20 minutes of a qualified/competent sparks time would find this.

 

[Markyd]

Check outgoing voltage from switch and a continuity test from switch to gates , Basically get a sparky

Can you clarify if these are controlled by a sensor (PIR) or not, please. If they are, then my money is on the PIR having packed up.

I don’t think sensor. The wiring is not hot. I have a gfci from a bathroom that is tripped and I cannot find where. There is one outlet that has no power. I changed out the outlet but the wires are not hot. Maybe the issue? Any advise it greatly appreciated!!!

Best advice is get a qualified electrician in.
Remote working from the UK is not really an option.
