Assuming it's a 5W lamp, 5/240 = 20.8 mA so all that current was going to earth hence why it only tripped on full power. Most RCDs trip in the 20 - 30mA range.
Had a job Extractor fan turns on with lights but can’t be turned off without turning it off at the breaker, no humidistat or timer present, 12v downlights Only thing i think it could be is the transformers but still don’t make sense
A nice video but *please* avoid using jargon - 'linked-out'...?!!! I assume you mean you connected the L1 wire to the first dimmer switch to its common thus by-passing the dimmer switch but also simulating 'lights on' (at full power) effectively demonstrating that the dimmer switch was not the cause of the fault - because the RCD (?) still tripped. If so, why not say that? And the earthing system comments would mean nothing whatsoever to anyone other than a qualified electrician... So, explain or not mention them... please!

It's so satisfying when you find it
Nice one,wish all fault finding was as straight forward as that one
I'm 45 seconds in and I'm guessing crushed line to neutral from improperly terminated downlights! 😂
Was never going to be the dimmer mate

Your cheating on me Lexus !! Busted 😂
Should have been identified when the inspection and testing was carried out which suggest it wasn’t.
Love the videos, but I listen with headphones and the constant sound of chewing gum chomping🤢😬😬 keep up the great videos 🎉
I'm not even a chewing gum guy! Probably just constantly clearing my throat 😂
