Hey everyone.
Recently got called to a job where I needed to change over a light fitting and other small jobs. Upon testing the circuit no earth was present, I investigated the circuit thoroughly and gave the customer a few options on what to do. The customer decided to go ahead with changing...
Hi all,
The title says it all really, was just looking for opinions on the best looking class 2 light switches e.g. for a circuit without an earth, ideally wanted something that was a brushed metal type finish.
Many thanks,

Anyone know of a bathroom suitable shaver socket that doesn't require an earth? I know the safety transformer load side doesn't need earthing, but all the ones I've come across, even the plastic ones, still have an earthing terminal presumably to earth the supply side (metal components within...
Hi,
just looking for for a bit of advice
i changed a board yesterday for a house I have been working on in their kitchen.
i came to test the bathroom lights in the downstairs room bolted on the back of the house with flat roof to discover that there is no CPC at the light or pull switch, they...
Hi, can anybody recommend a suitable light for a kitchen ceiling that is Class 2.
The reason is that there isn't an earth in the lighting circuit. I know it should be rewired, but the old lady hasn't got the money and she is struggling to change the bulbs on her existing light. I was hoping to...
Is there such a thing?

Hi all need a little clarification.
Customer wants ceiling light fittings x 2 replaced with class 1 fittings. Lighting circuit is earthed at C.U. and class 1 wall switches, and at one of the lights. There appears to be no earth at the second light( just x2 black singles & no sign of the loop)...
Afternoon
Bought a bag of spuds from the Co-op the other day. Some had earth on them, some didn't. However, on the bag it said they were Class 2 potatoes. Do they need the earth or not?
Sorry for the simple question, but I only did a "One of your 5 a day wonder" courses so I'm not really a...
I'm looking at the options for customer who has no CPC on lights as is quite common. I know the ESC "good practice guide" - and that all makes good sense.
However most light switches with exposed screws into metal back boxes (where metal box is unearthed because no CPC), would therefore be...
Hiya Guys,
Ive got a customer who wants his CU changing, main earthing and bonding is fine but theres no CPC's to the two lighting circuits.
Installing CPC's would be major surgery and I doubt very much they have the money to pay for it but they're elderly and have to call for help if one of...
Quick one....again
client wants class 1 light fitting in kitchen. At preset no earthing on lighting circuits. All existing fittings are class 2. Is there any way a class 1 can be fitted with no earth? Say if its noted down on certificate and client made aware of this. All circuits protected by...

Hi, I did C&G 2377 a couple of years ago and have only recently been asked by company to do some portable appliance testing for them.
Now, I'm trying to remember how to test class 2 equipment. I've looked around the internet the best I can and haven't really found an answer.
How I understand it...
Hello
Can anybody tell about touch leakage testing and when it should be done. We have a seaward europa plus unit that seems to divert to touch testing when we are testing class 2 items. Any info on this would be great.
when pat testing class 2 equipment do you only have to do a insulation resistance test as a miniumum? or do you have to do more to cover the code of practice
Evening,
I have a class 2 light for the bathroom, and it has its own L & N wires that go into connectors in a type of small chocbox, that go into the loft. Whats the best way/regulation to terminate the incoming earth?
Cheers
Hi all
I have a customer with no cpc on the lighting circuit - property is a top floor flat with a flat roof above so no access above ceilings. I was looking at the possibility of installing class 2 lights - I've found lots of websites offering class 2 fittings but it's unclear exactly what...
