Hi all
My friend's kitchen and extension lights have a "master" on/off switch. The switch controls all of the ceiling lights, wall lights and kitchen cabinet lights. Each set has its own dimmer switch and each night he just flicks the master switch to turn them off. In the morning he flicks the master switch to turn them back on. Doing so trips the lighting MCB.
I did recommend manually turning off some of the lights at night so that there will be less initial draw in the morning. Doing so doesn't trip the MCB.
The lights are all LED. I guess the initial draw is too great for the MCB. Can you get MCBs that take slightly longer to trip?
Thanks.
