DIY wiring likely to cause RCD trip
Erm, what. Surely if they are plug in then you can just unplug them.
Personally outside lightin run off the mains can be a real pest. Most of the
lights I've seen lately that are not floodlights are low voltage ones.

The people who lived here before me wired outside security/night lights
not to the lighting circuit but to a socket ring. Although controlled by a
wall switch the lights actually plug in to a socket inside.
It's not the best job in the world.
I've been using the lights with my old style fuse box and a plug in RCD
which does trip every now and again - probably three times a week.
I'm having the fuse box replaced with a consumer unit and I am pre-empting
nuisance tripping from these lights.
Is is best to just disconnect them completely or is there any way of
isolating them so that they don't cause nuisance tripping?
