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 ?
Indeed, but I am with Sparkingchip - we cannot realistically make the all systems unconditionally safe, and we should not try, rather we should make it well engineered, and then so long as we make sure the how to do it information is available, that is all that is reasonable to do, which actually given the web has never been easier.
If a few folk cannot be bothered to work out what to do before they start, then they can pay up for someone else to sort it out when they muck up, as they do with plumbing and woodwork too.
