Just had a look in the handbook for ours, it states that the switch can only be reset once the fault has been rectified. Perhaps whatever caused the bulb to blow (a short?) is still giving you a problem?

Will look behind the light and see if it's easily spotted. Thank you

All looks ok behind the light, all fuses near the battery box are fine. I can't find any 240 volt fuses to check. Any body else got any ideas please?

Is the RCD common for all the RCD's in the mains fuse box? If so turn off the mcb for the lights and try resetting the RCD, failing that take our the lamp that was causing the problem as it may be faulty and removing it from the circuit may help. The other thing that you could try is to disconnect at the site post and then reset the RCD and then re connect at the site post. It might just be enough to reset it.

Tried all of the above and still no luck. Looks like we have to live off the battery and hope it holds out for 2 more nights. Thanks for any suggestions
