John/Elfi, Thank you both for your time and will post results of the above tomorrow pm.

Yes it's led spot one sensor,although will have to test the socket circuit rcd tomorrow once swmbo has finished watching something called Hollyoaks!

Yes the light does have a earth and it was connected when i tried it on a plug but the sockets are on another rcd to the one that trips, i think you call it a split cu? although i have never tested either of the rcd's The circuit that trips has lower lights,cooker and the washing mc which uses...

Thanks John, Im clutching at straws now.

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.

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...

Correct, But thinking about it the only other thing is a borrowed earth from the downstairs toilet to a light under the stairs a distance of 1m although both fittings are plastic and both lights are on the downstairs circuit as i checked when it tripped the second time yesterday after checking...

Yes, they are both 63a/30Ma, the lights are split up and down with the sockets being on the upper one, all lights both up and down are led apart from 1 cfl on both circuits.

It works so what does that mean?

Had a pir exterior spot that used a incandescent lamp but the unit started to flicker and then packed up so brought a steinel spot one with pir sensor to replace, before installing checked power and polarity to outside and fitted the steinel light which tripped the rcd for the ground floor...

Hope this guy had clean undies............. https://twitter.com/i/status/1360991573643833353

Ok cheers for that.

Is that gas meter earthed?

I got a lump of celotex out of a skip and stuck it on with bostik.

Well the edges are curved and they have the bit sticking out to space them.

The Bricks on the left look like block pavers to me.edit, and perhaps the other side.

Cannot see what the problem is, Many years ago i used to drive a hgv to Benelux once a week and you could not take meat products unless in a tin/canned or plants either way so i guess it is reverting to what it used to be, With plants and food it was to stop disease like swine flu.

So the fridge sticks out 20cm and you propose filing a few mm off, nah don't do it and take the advice you have already been given by johnd.
