On the same line are three outside plugs, overhead bathroom light (75 watt)and vanity light in bathroom (three sixty watt light bulbs) and two outside lights (75 watts a light). On one outside plug are outside garden patio lights 12 watts a light and no more than ten lights. Nothing else plugged in to other two outlets and also outside motion detector light on same circuit. Motion detector light has one light that turns on and off and one set to motion. The switch that turns on the motion detector light that turns on and off also turns on and off another floodlight some 15 yards away.
Problem statement. Circuit trips almost every night between hours of 1 and 6 am as bathroom lights work fine before going to bed and circuit trips by the time you get up. Have paid over 400 dollars to electricians who "investigated", replaced circuit breaker and still not fixed. Strange thing is that almost every single night the circuit trips. You can leave the bathroom light on throughout day and no problem, just trips at night. Have turned off all outside lights, did not turn on floodlights, unplugged garden lights and still tripped? Did replace vanity light as it was very old and problem went away for 2-3 weeks then returned all of a sudden. I am not electrician but fear my house is turned into Blair Witch Project. Bought a motion detector light replacement but have still not replaced as it may be a bear to get the old one off without some sort of idea motion detector light (and its on off companion) are likely the problem. Suggestions more than welcome.
