[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 497180, member: 1408"] I think its possible with RCDs to go "Dormant" when never tested . I guess you pressed the test button but now its "woken" up and is sensing a fault on your lighting . Have you replaced any light fittings while you've been there . ? Is there an outside light full of water ? RCD could be over sensitive or there IS a fault with the lights . As Dave said , if you report it don't mention you tried the test button , although thats what its there for . [/QUOTE]
