Hi everyone. Quick question. In which situations would you use LSZH cables over PVC? Fire alarm systems being obvious but any other reasons/regulations of when/where to use? Thanks
Only reason I can see is if accessories might be changed to those with metallic enclosures in the future and then you'd need to pull a CPC in which would be a big hassle?
No sockets, just lights which are supplied with 2 core flex, Ansell 50w led floods.....linked by PVC conduit, fully enclosed...
Hi All
Is this allowed under amendment 3?

No it is NOT my work!
I'm working in an office block and am wiring the shower rooms. I have 20 lights switched by 2 pirs. I'm just wondering would it work okay if I looped the switch wire out of the first Pir through all my lights and end it at the second Pir. Or do I need a direct link from Pir to Pir.
Thanks

Hey all,
Just a quick query.

Hey Guys
Just some quick advice, currently doing a rewire on some offices. The client has came back to talk about my cable selection, i designed using LSF, however the owner does not want to pay the premium for this cable and suggests I fit the same cable as the other quotes he received (that...

Both lights and the PIR...
