My sister had 2 bathroom lights from 12 years ago which she is removing after a redecoration.
5A lighting wire emerges from the wall, which is hardboard. All connections were made inside the old lights.
It looks like all lights nowadays are rather tiny and double insulated. There is neither room for this big 5A wiring nor earth tags in them.
If switching to smaller, delicate double-insulated ones, it seems to me that the existing wiring will have to be moved into junction boxes, which will have to be sunk into the wall and from which just small L+N wires wll emerge.
Otherwise more substantial lights must be needed, with earth tags and room for the old 5A wires to go into them.
Any suggestions, or experience?
Thanks
Abe
