My 1990 property does not have the lighting circuits protected by the Distribution Board RCCB.Only the power circuits are protected.If I get a trip from the RCCB the lights stay on.

Do I need to upgrade my system to include RCCB for lighting?
 
It would be a sensible safety improvement for the installation. 30mA RCD protection will significantly reduce the chance of serious injury, or worse, should an accident happen.
