Firstly, we have not altered any of our lighting circuits in years. Nevertheless, yesterday, the MCB on our Consumer Unit for our upstairs lighting circuit tripped. We switched it back on and a couple of seconds later, it tripped again, we once again we flicked it on and it stayed on all night. This morning, it tripped once again, and then again after we turned it back on.
Before calling out a sparky, is there anything obvious we can check that could be causing this (light bulbs, 12v transformers, etc.)?
ps. I'm not a qualified electrician, but have done my fair share of non-notifiable work so am competent in that respect. However, this scenario has baffled me.
