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.

    OK ok - perhaps I should have said "any vaguely modern standards compliant E27/E14 lampholder"...

    All readily available in the UK, the GU10 to E27 adapter introduces a game of Russian Roulette with a 50/50 chance of having either correct or incorrect polarity.
