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.

    One problem with lampholders is that if the bulb fails it is not always obvious whether or not the holder is live.  Especially if it has two way switching..






    With the table and desk lamps it’s usually fairly obvious how to ensure the lamp can be replaced safely, simply unplug them.
