Evening all,
Replaced a bulb on the outside light and it's permanently on. I have a suspicion it was permanently on before, causing bulb to burn out. Anyhow, today I, turned the power off, changed the bulb, gave everything a good clean up and then switched it on again. All of the other lights are working fine in PIR mode except this one. Ive tried resetting from the mains by turning off for 10 seconds and then back on, in the dark, but once triggered the problem light remains on. I've repeated this step by turning off the at the mains for 1 and 2 mins and no difference. I did notice that sometimes after a reset, the light would switch off, but then immediately switch back on and stay on.
Is it knackered? Or am I missing anything? The only other thing I can think of is that the bulb that I replaced was a 60w for a 100w. Would you that make any difference whatsoever? Who would have thought changing a bulb would be such a pain in the proverbial.
Thanks
