    Downlights on Light Circuit No CPC

    I've got a lighting circuit with no CPC. I'm telling them they have to go all plastic, There are also a good few 240V downlights in the kitchen though. What can be done with them??? Cheers for any help.

    Lighting with no CPC

    I have carried out a PIR on a domestic property which has an old Wylex rewirable fuses and there is no cpc to the lighting circuits which I have recommended improvement. The question is if they just want the DB upgrading is it possible to leave the lighting with a note on the EIC? All wiring is PVC.

    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.

    RFC - no CPC continuity!

    Hi, I have just tested a RFC and the CPC was broken (no continuity). Tested all the socket on that circuits and R1+R2 was OK but I could't open a socket to check, as it was hidden (burried) behind a door frame and it must be a double socket with only one of its switches staring at me. To reach...
