    Since yesterday the lights fuse keeps tripping on the fuse board. It happens when all the lights are off as well as on.

    It's an old house with some old and some newer wiring.

    Has anyone any tips to help find the source of the problem?

    Any GU10s? Had one recently that was causing the lighting circuit to trip.

    Slugs? Had one before in a JB to an outside light that was causing the breaker to trip.
