Hello All,
Just attended a call from a client where we re-wired her house who phoned to say she received a nasty shock from the socket where she had plugged in her fairy lights.Usual thing, you've installed dodgy/unsafe wiring, Blah,Blah.
Turns out she had the string bunched in one hand, plugged in and got a wallop off of a broken lamp with the filament showing. Just make sure loved ones/ friends are aware of the dangers. I dread to think what would have happened if a kid was involved.
And the RCD tripped.
Have a safe Christmas,
Dave
