    What code? No RCD, outside lights

    Outdoor lighting circuit (domestic) without 30mA RCD additional protection, what code would you give it? I'm leaning toward C2 as (A) outside lights have a habit of filling up with water, and (B) anyone touching it may be in contact with the bare ground. What are your thoughts?
