Hi, I turned some lights on earlier this week, there was a pop, burning smell and both the MCB for that circuit and the RCD switched.
Upon turning the RCD and MCB back on, the lights worked. No blown bulbs, no visual signs of damage.
Now, one of the ceiling roses on that circuit had been removed, and wago connecters used in its place to keep the circuit so other lights could be used.
At the time, I had quite a bit of plastering done, so the air was very damp.
I've not had a chance yet to take any lights apart yet to see if there is any damage.
My supposition is that condensation (it was first thing in the morning when this happened, and there was a lot of condensation on the windows) could have caused the issue (a short circuit?) Somewhere is an accessory.
Beyond looking for burnt wires/connections, is there anything else I can do? All lights working well.
