    Confused....bathroom socket

    Hello, yesterday I Carried out a EICR, two DBs all installed in 2007, so pretty simple until I got to the last circuit. And It was a 16amp type B marked up as bathroom socket, thinking it was most likely the shaver points, after half hour I found a weatherproof socket under the bathroom sink...

    Testing existing installation, notice one circuit that supplies 10 * 30 watt LED lights has a 16 amp mcb protecting it. Change the mcb to 6 amp and it instantly trips, thought maybe I'm missing more light fitting on circuit. Used my clip on ammeter and it reads 1.7 amps, all dead tests and live...
