Is there a dimmer in the circuit? Dimmer to lamp compatibility issues are a common nightmare. Are they mains led lamps, or are there...

I, too, recommend an oil filled radiator. They combine cheap, safe and effective, and if you buy one with timer and thermostat as...

Check how high they need to be.

What are you testing the battery with and how ? If you are using a common multimeter, testing with no load is meaningless. If it drops...

You could easily make one of those which worked perfectly and safely. There is plenty of space inside for the necessary protection and...

Please don't try this at home !

You did say it tripped a few minutes after switch on. If it goes immediately then it's more likely where the fault lies, but still not...

Unfortunately random time RCD trips can be hard to diagnose. The fault doesn't even have to be on the same circuit, because adjacent...

What a mess. Hopefully the supply is isolated elsewhere. If you aren't sure, keep well clear.

Condensation issue maybe?

I obviously didn't look deeply enough. Still wondering about isolation though.

I was wondering if these devices guaranteed isolation of the low voltage side, but when I look up that part number it has a 220volt coil...

Isn't the clothing and footwear of the "victim" also a factor? We have metal supports carrying glazing on composite, (plastic) decking...

Just get an installation inspection (EICR) done and then chat to the spark. No-one will be offended by being asked about items outside...

Cars have gone the same way. Loads of unnecessary, (arguably useless) gadgets and more software than a space capsule!
