[QUOTE="viciousemu, post: 370812, member: 24938"] Hi Sharpend and thanks for the speedy response. No rodents... There was a problem with the RCD which was replaced recently (by a qualified spark). The problem with the upstairs lights occurred around 3 weeks after that. I have checked the consumer unit and the lighting radial (just one 3 core 1.0mm cable although given all the lights in the house are on this one MCB I thought a 1.5mm would be better so may have it changed in the future). Is in the correct MCB. No other work carried out. I followed the cables in the loft and it looks to me that the landing light is the first light in line upstairs. As a result of all the lights upstairs (and only upstairs is affected) I deduced that the problem would mostly likely be with this fitting/switch. I also added the hallway switch info as it does also operate the landing light. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
