    what coding would you give

    No, in a domestic setting little Timmy I see as the responsibility of its parents, in, say, a rental I may be more concerned about some wall lights.

    what coding would you give

    This is where regulations meet commen sense, if the fitting is lighting up the signs at first floor level (like most of them are) then fine, you need at least a ladder to reach them and therefore should know what your doing and at least wont be stood in a puddle of rain water. The low level ones...

    what coding would you give

    Now if I had a bathroom where I could touch an exposed 240V lamp I would C2 the fitting, yet these lights we can't decide on. C3 if out of reach, C2 for low level. I dunno, going to sleep on it.

    what coding would you give

    Outside walls with IP23 lights that even a short person like me can touch. (sign lights) What coding would you give? I would be tempted with a C2 but these are recently fitted lights by a professional design company on the outside of a public use building, they couldn't of made such an error...
