Quick question for you all.... do low energy light fittings have to be installed on a rewire or just what's classed as a renovation or new build ?

They snuck that one in a bit quietly didn't they?changed about 2 years ago use what you want now
Yes I have those in my place. There was one missing when I moved in; presumably the previous owner had tried to replace it then given up trying to find one. I just replaced it for a BC lampholder because I would rather pay £1 for a light bulb than £10. The annoying part was the light still didn't work - there was a loose connection in the rose.Yeah, the worst culprits were the ones from MEM called 'BC3' lampholders, looked like a normal pendant to your unsuspecting new homeowner until they came to change the lamp and found that they only accept bayonet cap lamps with 3 prongs - nwhich are only available from MEM at £8 each! At least a bit of common sense from building control
On this web page you want, under the "Part L 2010 Building Services Compliance Guides", the Domestic Building Services Compliance Guide. In section 12 on page 123 is the extract that I quoted earlier.Do any of you guys have a direct link to the document with this in, I'm in the middle of an argument with a building control officer, he seems to believe that pendants do not count to your 3 in 4, I'm sure he's wrong as my assessor told me on last assessment. Cheers lads
