Changing the markings for UK and NI should now be a problem, as it is now CE marking is often not really worth the ink, there is no real enforcement inspectorate and makers can and often do declare compliance and affix a valid mark without actually realizing which standards they should be meeting, let alone testing to them.
Mainly it lulls purchasers into a false sense that somebody else has inspected it, and they do not need to. This is not true, and this lamp is a case in point.
