Led lighting - where is my limit as a person without any certificate.

[DEEPAK_78]

If it is the 12V stuff you are putting in, or stuff plugged in to a regular 13A socket, then you don't have any Part P building regulations to require a certificate, etc.

As Telectrix says, if you can put in conduit pipes, etc, it will make things so much easier if you need to replace anything, and depending on how that is done it probably avoids the whole cable-collapse in fire problem as by time a wall or similar has gone you are past caring...

Guys, read his posts again, he is wanting to install this LED lighting for others i.e. possibly on a commercial basis, it is not a one off domestic installation.

Hello everyone.

I need information from people who are more knowledgeable and I will appreciate your help. I have no idea and I can not find any information about the regulations for mounting LED lighting.
I would like to install minimally invasive LED stair lighting on a plug and play basis, but I have no idea how much I can do by law. Minimally invasive, I mean connecting the power supply to the socket and make the wiring in the aluminum profiles. I just wondering if I can do any wiring in the walls, or for example I can mount a box on the wall in which the LED power supply will be hidden, I have no idea where my limit is, how much I can do as a person without an electrician license.

Thanks in advance for any help

You do definitely need information from knowledgeable people, we are called Electricians, and for the privilege of this advice we expect payment, you on the other hand are not in a position to interpret the requirements and should call one of us, we are everywhere.

Alternatively, go and become an Engineer like we have at huge cost and hard work. Then you can listen to people try to get free advice about how they can do your job for free, oh wait....

Doesn't sound right

There is a clause in the Part P document that says it applies to fixed wiring even if supplied via a plug and socket arrangement. Burying a cable in the wall would make it part of the fixed wiring, in my view.
And even if it's 12 volts, that doesn't make it exempt from the wiring regulations, which apply to voltages up to 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC.
That's not to say that the OP shouldn't attempt the job, just that there are rules that need to be followed.

Not bad for a resurrected thread… only 1 year old.

Still…. Job’s probably been done by now

Such a helpful post...do you now need to build a little bridge so you can get over yourself?
