    RCD trips occasionally when outside lights switched off.

    A customer has been in contact to say that her RCD is tripping intermittently whenever she turns the outside lights off. There is two consumer units in the house each protected by a 30mA RCD. Has anyone ever had this problem? Going to it tomorrow to do a bit of head scratching!! Lol
