Damn. Though you might say that. I was looking for an easy win. Oh well, best get my chisels out and find out where the wiring goes.

That sounds feasible. Do you think it was just coincidence that the original lights with the fittings on the outside also went wrong? The woman opposite has a super bright motion sensitive floodlight that shines across the road so maybe that was doing a similar thing. So a timer might work...
