[Theorysparky]

What about the need for a MWC ????

there are a fewwho would insist !!!!

 

[Badger]

i would have done full eic instead, as you should really make sure the zs, r1/r2 of circuit can with stand the fault current, also test the earthing on incomer to make sure the light fitting you have last worked on has a good earth path under faukt conditions, check ZE and KA for incoming mains :slap

 

[ProDave]

5 to discuss whether, rather than simply replacing the blown lamp, you should not instead replace the simple lamp with 2 rows of halogen downlighters consuming 4 times as much power.

7 to discuss whether these should be 12V or 240V downlighters

4 to discuss whether the downlighter upgrade necessitates the addition of an RCD to the circuit.

 

[Badger]

3 members to suggest a complete rewire from the switch and supply side in approppriate new cable colours, using a new harmonised twin brown for switch drop instead of the original red/black cable
