Discuss Hi,what EICR code would you give for pendant light in a bathroom in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net
One word cost! Probably been there since being builtIf you can reach it will standing in the bath C2 , if it’s out of reach then check it is above 2.25m then no code
never quite understand why an electrician would fit a batton lamp holder in a bathroom
If it were inside zone 2 it would still fail because the shock guard isn’t IP44.Out of interest would you code it a c2 if it was an MK shockguard batten ?
Apologies, posted pre coffee.If it were inside zone 2 it would still fail because the shock guard isn’t IP44.
A lot of bathrooms never had showers when they were originally built, hence the name bathroom. And dependant on which version of BS7671 there were designed and installed to then zones may not have even been in existence.never quite understand why an electrician would fit a batton lamp holder in a bathroom
I still think of bathroom zones as something relatively new!then zones may not have even been in existence.
My nan used to plug her iron into it, those 5 amp fuse wires were really good... ???Back in the day, you needed a light fitting with a bayonet socket so you could plug in your electric razor. I think I have a two way adapter in a box for this very purpose!

I keep one of these on board for use when I'm working in a large room with just a single pendant or similar. A 150W lamp in each socket really brightened up the place.Back in the day, you needed a light fitting with a bayonet socket so you could plug in your electric razor.
