I have just replaced one of our wall lights with a LED Tape light and associated power supply. As all was well, I replaced a second wall light fitting (on the same circuit) also with a length of LED tape light and an associated power supply.
Now, ~30% of the time that I turn those lights on, the MCB trips.
I understand this may be related to the inrush current of the 2 Power Supplies, but unfortunately the particular 12V drivers I have don't indicate what their expected inrush current is.
Running the 2 sets of tape of a single PSU won't work as they're at opposite ends of the same room. I've tried searching for 'low inrush current' PSUs, but the lowest I can find appears to still be rated at 20A. Can these ever work on a lighting circuit?
Anything I could try myself before getting an electrician in? Even then, what might be the options? Is using a type C MCB a solution or a hack?
