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 was sent on a training course for the PAT.  Which was boring but not as boring as testing brand new IEC leads.

     






    You could have failed the exam on purpose, like many school caretakers do to get out of having to do it.
