    Steinel spot one led problem

    Steinel spot one led problem

    I would put a new rcd in but the cu does not have an isolator switch so that only leaves pulling the company fuse, Either way if disconnecting the neutrals or replacing the rcd will still involve pulling the fuse so not sure how to proceed.

    Steinel spot one led problem

    Going back to using an incandescent lamp and it working although as pointed out no earth was connected would it be worth trying a 9w bc led in without earth or would that work anyway as no imbalance could be detected without the earth.

    Steinel spot one led problem

    I know googling stuff can be a mistake but i found this although it relates to led strips. Two things that immediately spring to mind. Firstly the LED light strip drivers probably have internal surge arrestors. When surge arrestors actually 'arrest' a surge it would be seen by the RCD as a fault...
