LED flood straight off ring?? C2 or C3??

[snipersmith87]

Carrying out a EICR. Stumbled on 2 x portacabins. Testing the ring in bottom portacab to find an SY 2.5mm has been spurred off the dado sockets, exits the bottom cab clipped externally upto the top of the top cab and supplies an LED flood. Automatically i thought its wrong. No spur. But im now thinking C3. Its a fixed load. It supplies 1 x light on the top of a high level portacabin. What are peoples thoughts? Obviously Zs commplying. The DB is inside the cab for local isolation.

Out of curiosity what is the Earthing arrangement

There are probably millions of non compliant spurs connected from ring final circuits which are never going to create a hazard. You must consider has this part of the circuit been correctly designed, no. Is the led light a fixed electrical load, no. Is the choice of SY cable the correct choice in respect to external influences, no. Is it acceptable to connect a multistranded conductor into the socket terminals with other conductors which are solid core??, no.
You decide.

fair enough,badpractice, but can you justify a C2 as a potential danger?

I don't have the gift of hindsight

I have thrown this in just in case .LOL.

Can see the argument for c2 but for me a c3
