    Minor Works Cert - No CPC

    I've just installed a couple of additional 12v down lights and changed extractor fan in a bathroom. The lighting circuit is one with no CPC. How would you complete a MEW? Obviously tests are limited in this case, but where would you use LIM, X, - etc in the relevant boxes? thanks.

    A (plumber) mate of mine, has changed a standard 12v downlight to a LED downlight - he tells me that the first bulb he tried flickers a few times before coming on and the 2nd bulb is worse. The original standard bulb is back in so the transformer is OK. The lamp is fitted into one of those...
