Reg. 559.5.1.206 E.S. Lampholders.

Zoomup
Why does the above regulation exempt E.S. lampholders if they comply with  BS EN 60238 from being connected in a specific way, i.e. with the outer connection being connected to the neutral of the supply please? Are they inherently safe?


Thanks in advance.

    There was a product recall for some decorative lamps round Christmas. As part of the decoration, there was a metallic film round the glass globe, which became live on insertion, depending on how the ES lamp holder was connected.
