Thanks for the reply, have tried the lights on the bench before and they seem to be doing the same thing.

I've been called to a job to have a look at some lights that have been recessed into a terrace. http://www.luckinslive.com/data/5097/PDF/20121030-JCC_Cat_25_p253.pdf There are 8 lights in total and at some point, before drainage was put in, the first two lights had filled with water. So...
