Anyone seen this symbol before?

Logo in the bottom right corner - looks like I shouldn’t be installing them in a home.

Also - 30 of them needed per lamp at 15w each - two lights (one already installed by customer) + other lights.
It’s right up close to maximum demand - even with diversity.....

Customer supplied lamps - time for a chat - but to put LED’s in will cost £££££

Looks like a lamp for an oven or possibly a fridge.

That's half a kilowatt of lighting in one fitting !! Be interesting to work out the cost saving of LEDs and then the payback time. I'd certainly fit LEDs.

The symbol means that it is not intended for general domestic lighting use because it does not meet the minimum efficiency requirement. For example, a fitting with those in won't comply with part L, so they can't be sold as GLS lamps.

It's an oven lamp, it's exempt from the EU ban on incandescent lamps because it's rated up to 300 degrees C. The symbol means it's CE certification is for an appliance lamp, but it isn't certified for general lighting.

So nothing to do with being cheap and having no fuses in leads !
(Having seen holes burnt in thread of a cheap LED ses on this site)

Reminds me of a job i had last year in a huge apartment building in Bath called Empire, it was once a grand hotel before being taken over by admiralty during the war.I had to change some bulbs in a similar chandelier type fitting. thought ah nice easy job.
Got there and it was on top floor above the grand staircase with a 4 storey drop directly below in between staircase. i stood on ground floor looking up and thought bloody heck
had to arrange for some scaffolding to be put up to bridge the gap between the stairs as there was no way to reach it as somehow the old winch system to lower it and raise it had seized up and had since been welded.

maybe when the door in to front room opens and close the lighting will come on and off ,is their a pint of milk near the chandelier.

They could reduce their heating bills with one of those in each room.

If the customer can afford a house where that sort of light fitting is installed then he can afford the replacements even if the are LED's.

Oh and don't show him this,

see that's where you london boyz get it all wrong. should have had Scousers to take the chandelier down. it would not have gotten broken. OK< customer would never see it again but at least it would have been nicked with style.

Did you have a little trouble uploading the photos there?

Agree... go with LED. The cost saving in running them will soon pay for the upfront cost in buying them.
