    not yet because i dont feel this is the only issue...i believe the next thread i wrote about the db is half the problem...connecting an electric fence to an e/l unit...

    other light fittings which are filling up with water...

    what i am puzzled about is that there is no earth continuity on the light circuit as i mentioned so why is the e/l unit tripping and not the circuit breaker tripping because of a dead short from the water between live ad neutral?
