    Why do lamps blowing trip RCDs?

    ...cos if the lamp is in effect Class II with connections only to L and N (Edison screw; standard bayonet cap in unearthed pendant or batten), you would naively think there is no way the L and N can be in imbalance.

    Low watt led gu10/mr16

    Excuse the ignorance (and laziness), but what's the lowest watt (equivalent) you can actually pick up? Want to put a perimeter of downlights in to use instead of lamps so obviously want reasonably dim lights without actually fitting a dimmer.
