[QUOTE="binky, post: 554629, member: 490"] The only way I can think of it happening is multiple faults, which is possible with damp. Somehow damp in the light/ outside wall is firming a connection to the socket circuit. As the OP is on an earth rod, it's possible the resistance to earth is hundreds of Ohms, so fault maybe finding an easier earth path via sockets somehow. Not a job I would like to fault find - proper head scratched 😀 [/QUOTE]
