A friend has just started making custom light fittings, they have'nt actually sold any yet, and have asked me about regulations and proving their safe. Proving their safe and constructed properly is the easy bit but it got me thinking about the paperwork ect. Each fitting will be class 2 and...
guys,

Hello all
I'm confused about Part L and the light fittings required for a domestic loft extension.
I'm aware that a certain number of the fittings need to be low-energy and compliant with Part L in that respect. I can find plenty of information on what a particular lamp needs to be in order...

I know it depends on the weight of the fitting, but in general, will plasterboard fixings hold the weight of a fitting?
Obviously better to put a noggin in between joists but not an option.
Cheers
