Outdoor light not responding

[wattsup]

Hi there,

An electrician fitted an outdoor security light for us that comes on at dusk time. He installed a Contactum RCD inside the house that is connected to the security light.

Recently the bulb in the light blew and we found that the brown lever on the RCD had flicked down.

We installed a new bulb and pushed the brown level on the RCD back up but the light is not responding or working still.

There is also a green lever on the front of the RCD on the lhs that when flicked up displays a red window and when flicked down displays a green window.

I do not know how RCD's work and would appreciate any advice on getting the light operational, is there a step-by-step process on resetting the RCD? I have tried searching online but to no avail.

Thank you.

All the switches in your consumer unit, and the RCD&MCBs should be in the up position. Are they?

If they are then you'll need to look to see if there is another fuse in the circuit. Maybe an FCU installed?

When a bulb blows it can blow a fuse - it's not unusual.

Even the green lever on the RCD (thereby displaying the colour red in the small window above the green lever)?

Yes, all of them in the up position.
On is up.

Thank you very much Taylortwocities. Appreciate the replies.

Does it work now

Does it work now

Not sure because its a dusk till dawn light. I am not sure where the light sensor is, I tried covering what I thought was it but the bulb didn't light up.

I'll try to update you in a few hours once its gets dark.
