you buy a hayes manual if you don't know how to fix your car don't you?...
Also, don't forget that that post was directed at spark123....559.6.1.1(v)
This is a DIY forum.
It's not at all helpful to quote from BS7671 which few DIYers would posess. All the regulations needed for household installations are included in the On-site Guide, so BS7671 is unnecessary for a DIYer.
559.6.1.1 Connection to the fixed wiring
At each fixed lighting point one of the following shall be used:
(i) A ceiling rose to BS 67
(ii) A luminaire supporting coupler to BS 6972 or BS 7001
(iii) A batten lampholder or a pendant set to BS EN 60598
(iv) A luminaire to BS 60598
(v) A suitable socket-outlet to BS 1363-2, BS 546 or BS EN 60309-2
(vi) A plug-in lighting distribution unit to BS 5733
(vii) A connection unit to BS 1363-4
(viii) Appropriate terminals enclosed in a box complying with the relevant part of BS EN 60670 series or BS 4662
(ix) A device for connecting a luminaire ( DCL ) outlet according to IEC 61995-1.
NOTE: In suspended ceilings one plug-in lighting distribution unit may be used for a number of luminaires.
Now thats bad practice, and then some.
One thing that has always seemed to me to be missing from our range of plug and socket types is a type that is compact and designed for low current but is also IP rated.I wonder which is the highest rated BS EN 60309 socket that has been used on a domestic lighting circuit?
Now thats bad practice, and then some.
