[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 73367, member: 250"] There is a company that specialises in supplying Class 2, Double insulated light fittings. [URL="http://www.double-insulated-lighting.co.uk/class-2-lighting-ranges.htm"]http://www.double-insulated-lighting.co.uk/class-2-lighting-ranges.htm[/URL] If the Gas electrician was working on the sockets... he would be under no obligation to check or test the lighting circuits, (unless you paid him to test them!) ANY work that was done by a professional electrician, should have an appropriate certificate issued... Electrical Installation certificate. (new circuits/ fuse boxes etc..) Minor works certificate. (small fixes & changes) or Periodic inspection report. (testing & checking only) All of the above have space for comments on the existing instalation... So if you dont have any certificates for the property.. I guess it has not been formally tested.. Note: There is NO legal obligation to have to test domestic electrical installations.. But good practice in the wiring regs does recommend once every 10 years or change of occupancy. From the sounds of it.. you probably would be wise to get a formal periodic inspection done of the whole installation.. this would then give you a list of any areas requiring attention.. typically for the average domestic property this would be between half to one days work.... probably around [/QUOTE]
