[QUOTE="Manator, post: 348122, member: 9561"] Steve, I think you are missing the point really. The codes of practice are always issued after finding faults within the current way of doing things. They are intended to dispel the myths associated with any claims made by the specifiers. The codes of practice are not aimed at the installer, they are aimed at specifiers, designers and others who have the responsibility to design and install anything under those practices.Most if not all domestic installers would never need to buy a copy simply because most reputable wholesalers do a free design and supply service. Even for small commercials I would not buy the ACOP. However if your day to day work involves the design and installation of such then in order to provide the best design and use of the product you will need to know the code of practice. For instance a central driver unit would provide a more efficient solution to individual drivers. Some of the lower output LED's require more of them to be installed,to provide the work plane lighting requirements. There is a misconception that LED's do not produce heat, enclose one in a IP65 enclosure and watch them melt. Codes of practice show where, how and why to install. They also show engineering evidence to support YOUR decision to use them. [/QUOTE]
