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.

    I must admit that I have used on a standard UK mains supply, switches marked "240 volts AC" Even when the the supply voltage was 245 volts at the time of installation.


    That would be a C1 in my book :-)
