We have an extensive, professionally installed, garden lighting

one trace a fault like this? Dig up the entire garden?

Change it to a good old fuse. They weren't so fussy. RCDs are a
pain in the arse.


Are you insane offering that as "advice" on a public group?

No of course you should not dispense with an RCD, *especially* on an

We managed just fine before RCDs were invented. Why has the world
turned all girly?
