Hi all,
Ive been asked to look at a job to extend a lighting circuit. The customer wants to keep the existing pendant in the centre of the room and add 4 downlights in each corner controlled off a seperate switch. The room is a living room. My problem is the cu has no rcd protection. If I chase the wall to get my switch line down and put the cable in metal conduit would this satisfy the regs, I know anything buried in wall with no mechanical protection will need and rcd.
I know a board change is not an option after speaking to the customer on the phone. I have pre warned them that the job must be done by the book. I would just like to be able to offer the options available whilst stilll meeting the regs.
If not I simply wont do it as Im too new at this to be cutting corners and doing dodgeys. My aim is to be one of the good guys!
Thank you in advance for any advise.
