Hi
I just wondered if anyone has or fits these. We had one fitted in our bathroom this afternoon to bring the lights on and off automatically. It was getting a bit dark so lights were on when the electricain left.
The lights won't turn off! In fact it seems to be working in reverse! Set to stay on for 2 minutes when you walk in the room, it just wont go off.
The only way we could get it to go off was to turn the fuse off, but when you flick the fuse back on again the lights stay off for the 2 minutes then come on and wont go off again.
Electrician was miles away when called him tonight, he's coming back in the morning, but I have 4 down lights and a showerelight extracor burning away.
No switches in the loft to turn it off either.
Any help appreciated!
