Wrong polarity on kitchen edison batten holders:Coding.

Doing a condition report where the diy tenant has gone mad with surface plastic conduit downstairs to

add extra light points to varius rooms.In the kitchen are 6 edison holders on ceiling besa boxes.Noticed polarity

was wrong on the 1st one checked.My 1st thought for a coding was C2,but the lamp would need removing to

expose the live terminals,the same as a bc lampholder,which has the same danger of touching live parts .So would C3 be more appropriate?The live terminal

contacts when the lamp is fully inserted.

  • So there I was last week up a step-ladder using all three hands outstretched to poke my probes into an ES lamp-holder for an eternity whilst 3 Lo did its thing measuring Zs ...


    The outermost screw thread was metal, but it wasn't connected to N. I had to probe deeper for the one that was.


    It wasn't made any easier by the fact that once the (outdoors) lamp-holder was fitted to the wall, the paint made getting a good earth nigh on impossible.
