Someone asked me to repair a hall light fitting which suffered impact damage when attacked by a sofa being delivered which burnt out the scantily rubber clad aluminium drops to the lampholder.
It's a lovely old brass contraption but without a CPC on the circuit.
I replaced what was left of the L&N with some 1mm flex ensuring that all new cables and connections tested and safe.
I explained to the householder about the lack, and dangers, of not having a CPC on the circuit with C1 fittings installed and recommended they at least have a PIR, C2 fittings installed or a CPC on the lighting circuits and noted all that on the MWC.
As I left the job in at least a safer condition than I found it is that good practice or have I missed someting?
