LSF Cable required Village Hall

[flyingsparks]

I am currently pricing for new lighting in a village hall. Would LSF cable be required? Advise on who should be contacted please. Also, regarding the amd 3 requirement for fire rated cable supports, what would be recommended for above a plasterboard ceiling cables being clipped to joists, is there a simple metal support for this?

Do those requirements actually extend to cables above plasterboard?

Kind Regards, John

Use MICC and you can satisfy both requirements.

The plasterboard should be adequate.

That said, in a commercial building I would expect to see proper steel containment for a proper job so we should really be talking about LSF singles (6491B) in galvanised trunking (with PVC or galvanised conduit drops if any drops are required). Obviously I have no idea what kind of containment (if any) has been installed in this particular village hall though.

Thanks. As will be apparent from my almost-rhetorical question, that's what I thought. However, I also agree with what you go on to say, for a non-domestic environment.

Kind Regards, John

If only money was no object here, then MICC would be a great idea! That being said, galv conduit and trunking are also going to be way over budget. The lighting alone which I have had specked (15 light fittings LED Dimable) is coming in at about £2.8K - which I think is already going to be more than the committee are going to be able to afford let alone adding my labour and DALI dimmers etc to it yet.
This is a small hall in a small village with limited funds...
