Outside Lights on internal fused spur - MCB trips
I have installed eight LED garden lights (5.4w) and a couple of PIR lights (400w total) via a Fused Spur (5amp). When the lights are turned on via the FS the socket circuit MCB trips (RCD is ok). MCB can be flipped on and stays on. Wiring looks good. Any ideas ? Thanks.- ianbrookes
