Nothing works

[DrStrangelove]

And the next failure: the permanently on security light that I noticed at 23:30 last night.

Water ingress in the sensor i.e. it's full.

Thankfully it was fitted with a 10W Led "bulb" rather than a 200W halogen.

Interesting: turned it back on today & it was ok, stayed off in the day time, stayed off when it got dark.

Wandered down & triggered it & lo! it comes on & stays on, so the count down timer is screwed in some way.

Probably the hideous el cheapo skeleton pot that does the discharge thing.

It's toast since the thing is impossible to open without knackering it, as I discovered with the first one.

The 3 year Lidl warranty is long gone since it sat on top of a cupboard for years before being pressed into use.
