[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 497792, member: 250"] Earlier in the year.. (in the pre-lockdown days)... doing some work for a customer which included investigating garden lights tripping RCD when turned on... Tested SWA cable leaving fuse box, low IR between live & neutral... Various garden lights with pre-attached flex disappear into ground... no sign of any J/boxes... Left circuit disconnected and suggested customer did some digging when weather was more suitable to see if they could find the illusive terminations... Obviously during Lockdown and good weather, customer has had some time to get out in the garden... Earlier this week they sent me these photos for three out of four garden lights they had found so far... Anyone spot any potential concerns that could cause RCD tripping???? :slap :coat I believe they were fitted by a "landscape gardener" for the previous owner... As they were already installed when my customer moved in! :C [ATTACH]10700._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]10701._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]10702._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
