Hi Guitarist
I have a DMM and Megger , so can check continuity and insulation tests

That's what I'd assumed. To be able to test and certify the job properly, you will need an earth loop tester.

Unless you obtain Ze by enquiry and Zs by calculation.

Do you fit your security lights with one PIR or two??

Always 2 then I disconnect one because they don't work together the way I wire them. Thank you for asking!:77:

Well my PIR lights seemed to work fine until some Gloucester cat kept creeping around at night.

my dad in law , has one outside security light and wants me to fit an extra one. this will require a spur off the existing circuit and about 5 meters of cabling on an outside wall. can i do this work or does it come under part p?

Are you lonely tonight ? Do you need friends and someone to talk to ? You may have come to the right place.....

Share your thoughts and join us happy bunch of electrical retrogrades on the electricians forum chat line

I only managed to read a couple of replies and then lost the will to continue. So I may have reiterated another reply.

Part-P in only to ensure that all electrical work must carried out safely by a qualified electrician. As you have mentioned in your previous comments that you have knowledge about electrical installation then I don't think that it would come under Part-P. You have to first understand that how you will test the circuit to make sure that it's safe and can do it properly.

i was going to suggest fitting one of those stand-alone solar powered PIR lights, but then realised that he's need to be REAL and MCS registered and employ a scaffolder to erect scaffold.
