Switching OFF my bathroom lights sometimes trips the consumer unit's RCD, but it never trips when switching them on or during them being on and it never trips the circuits MCB. Its only an occasional thing, happens perhaps every few weeks or so, but I've finally had enough and decided to try sorting it.
They're five 12v MR16 bathroom spotlights each with its own transformer above the ceiling, running 35w halogen bulbs. The switch is the common cheap pull-cord type of thing. It can happen any-time (including the middle of the night!), not just when theres steam etc. about.
Since all is well when they're actually on, I'm a bit stumped as to what to look for... Does anyone have any experience of this?
Cheers
