rcd tripping

[butler26]

hi all

a friend of mine has phoned to say his rcd keeps on tripping when he turns on his security lights. the problem started a week ago ive been round but couldnt test anything as i didnt take my meter with me but what i did notice that there was a bit of water in the light fittings and may be this is causing the rcd to trip. what would be the best way to go about testing this circuit .should i disconnect the lights and do an IR test on the circuit wires, then do an IR test on the light its self .any advice welcome

thanks

from what youve said, i wouldnt bother wasting the batteries in the test kit... either fix the problem of water getting into the light, or replace it

I'll try to stop water getting but if that don't work I'll change the light and c if that does the trick
