Hello, i have just replace an old Flood light in the garden.
The old one had never work since moving in and look older than the house.
I have replaced it with a like for like (500w PIR Security light). The old one was fitted to a Plug with a 13amp fuse which was pluged in via a socket in a bedroom (On the ring main).
When i turn it on the main fuse for all the sockets tripped, i check the fuse in the plug which i have change to a 3amp and replace the wire just in case as it look old.
So now i have an 500watt pir light on a 3amp plug but it still trips any ideas please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
