Hi, ive came across a fault today, the house has been rewired a month back and I was called today because the rcd would trip when the bedroom switch was turned off, it would turn on and work fine but as soon as you switched it off it would trip out, there is a standard pendant and single pole switch, insulation resistance checks out fine so im baffled to why this could be tripping.
 
have you tried it with no lamp in the fitting?
incase it is something else on the circuit?
