Light sockets

Something that has puzzled me for years.


Bayonet cap and Edison screw light bulbs can be removed without tools thus exposing potentially live terminals and presenting a distinct shock hazard.  made worse by the fact that you often need to stand on a chair to remove the bulb.   There are millions of these installed yet the regs seem quite happy with the situation.

    Neither type is meant to be used on more than 250 volts.

     


    Even though the new harmonized voltage permit supplies up to 253 volts
