Garage lighting circuit breaker tripping

[Teachmesomethingnew]

My double garage has its own little fuse board to protect the sockets and lights.
The lights are a total of 10 led strip lights controlled by a single switch.
Each led strip light is rated at 36w.
recently, the 6A circuit breaker in the garage for the lights trips when the switch is turned on.
All 10 led strips works without issue or flicker.
Flicking the circuit breaker back on resets the lights and they will continue to work perfectly.

is this likely to be a symptom of a failing led strip light or a tired circuit breaker?

Probably neither.

More likely is the high starting current for the LED lights is at or near the current which will trip the circuit breaker.

How big is your garage 10 LED lights?

it’s a standard double. I use it as a carpentry/ car maintenance workshop so need plenty of light from all angles hence the number of lights.
There are 5 strips each side. It is pretty bright.
I’m now thinking of changing the wiring from the current ‘all on one’ to a twin switched setup with one switch controlling 6 and a second switch controlling another 4 when full on operating theatre illumination is needed.

Sounds a better option
