Anyone still wire loop lives at the pendant/light fitting for new Lighting circuits ? I insist that its not permitted due to past experiences. Always feel the average diyer thinks that turning the light switch off is safe enough to do when replacing a Light fitting which puts them at further risk of shock. Someone said recently that it's still acceptable to wire this way and often the wiring of choice for new Lighting ccts in new build housing ?
Most of the properties that I work in use the loop in lighting method at ceiling roses with T&E cables. Occasionally I find single insulated and sheathed lighting cables. Mr. D.I.Y.er can still get a shock at the switch if replacing a switch if the supply is run there first. The loop in system can be of use for ceiling light fans. The permanent line is connected to the fan via a small cord switch on the fan light, and the light is controlled independently from a wall switch. There must be millions of homes wired three plate at ceiling roses, proving its popularity.
