Just returned from my mums who was having trouble with her security light.
Seemingly it had come on this afternoon, three hours later still on. No switch fitted in house to turn light off.
After a bit of investigation the flex from the light seems to be wired directly into an upstairs socket which is practically back to back with light.
Even with my limited knowledge this just doesn't seem right. In the meantime I have switched MCB off while seeking advice.
I'm quite happy to check socket and disconnect flex, any further work will be left to an electrician.
