annoying IR fault

[gavin.sibley]

Had an IR fault on a newly installed lighting circuit today, 0.00ohms with continuity of 0.37 between neutral and earth, split the circuit down and down again until I find which room it's in, full of spotlights, keep splitting until I narrow it down to the last spot, disconnect spot fault clears, spent over an hour splitting it down and taking it all apart to get this far only too find the lamp holder has slipped out of position and an metal screw has managed to jam itself in the neutral side of the holder, damn that was annoying being something so stupid! Then had too spend ages putting it all back together again -_-

Lol, look on the bright side, work is work and I assume your time was chargeable.

Unfortunately not, I installed the thing and was just commissioning/testing

Did you manage to avoid the pub on the way home?

I tried my hardest but somehow still ended up there! Annoyingly I live 30 seconds away from my local, or half hour on a Friday night as the road seems longer on a Friday......

Can't explain why!

Its almost always the last thing you look at, the last half of a half of a half, and its always something stupid.

but finding it is a winner.
