Alrite lads,
I'm a commercial spark so don't do much domestic but a mate of mine asked me to Pop round and change a light fitting in his kitchen 5 min job, he had an old 6ft fluorescent which was shot and he has brought a new class 1 fitting.
I remove the fitting and there's no CPC so I checked at the old wylex board and the downstairs lighting has no CPC at all and there's also no RCD present so this is now more than a 5 min job.
I have told him to get a class 2 fitting for the kitchen and advised an RCD/New board but I also think he has some other class 1 fittings which are potentially dangerous (wall lights etc)
So other than remove the class 1 fittings or rewire the circuit is there anything else that can be done?
Thanks
