Default UK question: ES light bulb better than bayonet?
In article . com,
writes:
One advantage is that employees don`t steal them for the
house/garage.As for touching the base whilst removing them,is this
possible with a H.O. shield fitted.As far as I was aware the H.O.
shield has been compulsory for at least thirty five years..
regards,Mark.

H.O. skirt was only required on bayonet cap lampholders
in bath/shower rooms. However, this requirement was dropped
from BS7671:2001 with the introduction of bathroom zones
and specified IP ratings for electrical equipment.
