Hello all. I have a problem with my outside light. It has the main feed to light, then out of light to PIR on corner of house. This worked perfect, i also ran another cable from PIR to another light position and put a connector block on there as i didnt have the other light yet. So, i got new light, connected it up, and it worked. Brilliant! I hit the switch and they both come on and went off and never come on again as it was day. When it fell nightime, and it tryed switching on via PIR, it didnt, it tripped 6A breaker. Ok, so turned lights off at switch, made sure every light was off in the house even though the outside lights are only pulling 1000w together. Turned MCB back on, then hit the switch for light, after a few seconds when lights wanted to come on, it trips again. So i turned it off and waited until the morning, tryed it and the lights came on perfect and went off. But as soon as it hit nightime, thats it, it would trip again and keep tripping. Whats my problem? I just dont understand why its only when its nightime it doesnt work. Thanks.
