Yes it's led spot one sensor,although will have to test the socket circuit rcd tomorrow once swmbo has finished watching something called Hollyoaks!
Fair enough
If you were comfortable to do it, there is one other thing which could be done to confirm our understanding of the situation - namely to put the Steinel back in its original position but
without the earth connected. If you did that, you
must not touch the unit whilst the power is on since, if there
is an 'earth leakage', the casing of the light could be 'live' when there is no earth connection.
If you did that and confirmed that the situation is that:
(a) with the Steinel its intended position, the RCD trips when earth is connected, but not when there is no earth connected, and
(b) with it plugged into a sockets circuit, the (different) RCD does not trip even with earth connected, and
(c) the sockets circuit does trip when you press its test button
... then that would presumably indicate that there
is an 'earth leakage' in the unit but of a magnitude that is sufficient to trip one of the RCDs but not the other. In that situation, as EFLI has said, you would need an electrician with appropriate test kit. For a start, as EFLI said, one could measure the actrual leakage current (using the sockets circuit). Also, the 'trip thresholds' of the two RCDs could be measured, to make sure that one had not become 'too trigger happy' and/or the other 'not trigger happy enough'.
One obviously would not expect a brand new light which was 'fit for purpose' to have enough leakage to result in a correctly-operating RCD to trip.
