i.e. better at go/no go connections therefore less arcing/burning.
Might be down to the poor quality of lamps and fittings in real life rather than the concept itself.
However it is about time that BC were made to disconnect pins once lamp removed. I know you can buy them but they are not mainstream. I feel in that sense ES do give a bit more potential safety if wired correctly in UK because the Live you are most likely to touch is the N rather than the Ph.
All this uproar on "fatally flawed" website (which I wholly support) yet we still have the potential danger from BC table lamps and not much of a song and dance is made about that - OK there are not mounds of dead bodies littering our living rooms but the danger is till there.
I fact - a few years back now - a youg teanager was killed around our way - the family blamed the council for the recent house rewire but this was ruled out so I think it was down to the CB table lamp she was using in the outside loo.
