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 ?
However there was the ex-Council house with a loft conversion I was in recently, where the lights and switches were all wired in three core with the unused cores cut back. It took me an hour to sort out why some of the lights and switches did not work after the decorators changed the switch plates in the hall and on the landings.
