RCD tripping on lighting circuit when lamps (bulbs) are put into light fittings

[heartofgold]

Hi,
Lighting circuit trips the RCD.
took out all the lamps and it holds. Put any lamp back into any light on the circuit and it trips. All but one of the light fittings on the circuit are Class 1.

Any advice gratefully received

Many, many, many moons ago, when I was a programmer, when my boss came along and looked over my shoulder I'd just stop working and gaze around for a while until he bogged off.
He soon learnt not to hassle a genius at work.

I can't handle anyone looking over my shoulder either
I also stop,but I don't gaze around,I put the tools down,turn to face them.fold my arms and look them in the eye and wait for battle of the eye contact to conclude
No words,no moaning

I used to do that too.

During that hot summer of '76 or thereabouts, I was working as a turner in an engineering company where the boss was always hanging over my shoulder.

This day, he was wearing a sparkling white bri-nylon shirt and I was sick of him standing behind me just off my left shoulder, so I applied a nice heavy cut, selected a nice fast spindle speed and dropped the machine's clutch in and showered him with nice hot swarf.

In less than five seconds his shirt became a string vest.

That'll have been 77, when God Save the Queen came out, happy days!

We'll thank you all for your responses. I'm just home from the job and found the fault behind a Class 1 fitting where the connector block neutral had melted onto the back of the casing. Then I had to fix out the stramash in the two way switches. All sorted now and the install buttoned down and tested.

Apologies for for not responding to all your online splaff but I was too busy making money. How do you guys have so much time to chat on this forum?

I agree with Geordie I reckon it was 76 when the miners came out

No, 76, I would have still just about been legal to interfere with 'miners'.

Aye well ... I'm still not sure of the year bt it doesn't matter.

It was a stinking hot summer though, and my mate and I worked directly under a glass skylight and the heat was unbearable.

My mate found a bucket of white paint and some brushes one morning so he and I went up on the roof to paint the skylight over. We spent all day up there !!

1: there's always time!
2: it's cheaper than using the phone.
3: unlike the phone, don't have to answer straight away.
3: where else would you meet such a nice bunch of loonies?
