"There is also the controversy of a permanent live terminal in a ceiling rose."
What controversy is that then?It's not obvious to installers of light fittings, in the same way that a permanent live terminal at a switch is, unless they have knowledge of how loop-in wiring is connected. There have been cases of installers of light fittings receiving electric shocks because the lighting circuit was not switched off at the consumer unit even though it was switched off at the wall switch.
