If you have a sensible reply to give to Lukens, give it.
If you have nothing better to do than squabble, p**s off.
559.6.1.6
For the benefit of posters without access to the standard:
Lighting circuit incorporating B15, B22, E14, E27 or E40 lampholders shall be protected by an overcurrent protective device of maximum rating 16A
The BS1362 fuselink in the BS1363 plug should meet this requirement? , no?
Same as it does a tablelamp plugged in anywhere else

If DIYers want their work to comply with the Regs, it has to comply with the Regs. No amount of your petty insults changes that fact. If they don't want their work to comply with the Regs, to which standard do you advise them to comply? British non-Standard Lash up and Bodge it 2008??
My comments in this thread and others have explicitly made the distinction between typical domestic installations and commercial/industrial installations.
BS7671 applies to all the above but some Regs may or may not be relevant nor applied in the same way (spirit). It's important to think about a REG within the context of the installation and situation at hand and not to goose step forward regardless.
Different threads yes. And showing (not making up) a story of inconsistency on your part.Ah BAS, back to taking posts from completely different threads and piecing them together to make up a story.
A tip - reflect that both of those quotes were from you, are unedited, and both were made in the context of you arguing with other people about regulations in a domestic context.A tip. Use a dictionary. Select whichever words you like then to assemble and create works of fiction to your heart's content.

Sometimes you argue that the regs are the regs are the regs and must always be followed.
And sometimes you argue that some regs are more equal than others, and that it is the spirit behind them that should be divined, and adhered to, not the letter of them.

And reflect that more and more people here are realising that all you want to do is argue, to the extent of flatly and explicitly refusing to provide constructive help when politely asked.
Err - exactly what part of "not making up" reads like an admission of "making up" to you?So you admit it's all made up. Why are you making things up? I thought you were against the use of ad hominem fallacies in arguments.
No you weren't.I was arguing with you, NOT other people. Have the decency to stick to the truth if you start with it.

1) I did not say "everyone", I said "more and more", and that is not a lie.And reflect that more and more people here are realising that all you want to do is argue, to the extent of flatly and explicitly refusing to provide constructive help when politely asked.
I'm afraid that's one of your most peddled 'ad hominem' lies BAS. Take a look at some posts I made today. Someone actually thanked me.
