Conductor identification - what would you do

You are replacing some old-fasioned light fittings (that look like inverted 1970s pub ashtrays screwed to the ceilings) with shiny new LED dome fittings.  The house is wired in T&E with red and black cores and you find that the switched line feed is coming into the existing fitting as a black core in a T&E.  Mostly you have found that these have been nicely oversleeved in red, but one or two aren't.


Would you :


a: Oversleeve/mark in red to be consistent with the existing wiring

b: Oversleeve/mark in brown as that is the common 'current' colour for a single phase line conductors

c: Leave it as black as that is an allowed 'phase' colour these days......!

d: Something else - if so what?

    TBH i sort of agree, we all have to be more and more qualified, experienced, certificated etc but still have to sleeve a switched live just in case a diy'er goes in. If you cant spot a switched live in a 3 plate you really have no business being there.
