class 1 light fitting with no cpc

[pushrod]

Been asked to swap over a class 1 fitting for another old existing class 1 on a first floor hallway - however there is no cpc on the light circuit! (early 1960s house). In the loft there is a rfc junction box close at hand. What about putting a 4mm g/y single from the light fitting to the J.B. and a note and sticker on the CU to say what has been done.

Am i missing something obvious in the regs to say no - after all a light could be earthed by a ring main cpc if it was fitted via a 3A FCU. A rewire is out of the question and leaving it alone is no safer, although there are no simultaneously touchable earthed parts/ extraneous conductors.

cheers.

as a get out, i'd say it was better than nothing, but CYA and get it in writing that it's a temporary fix to make it safe. otherwise, walk.
