New regs appear to say between 0.75m and 1.2m. Does this apply if I am
replacing my old consumer unit and doing a partial rewire because I'd
like to place it near the roof at about 2.3m high?
If you're changing from a fuse to MCB unit, I'd make sure it is within
reach of the occupants, as the lighting MCBs will likely trip each time a
bulb blows - unlike fuses.
It helps to use type C MCBs on lighting circuits. However if you are
fond of mains halogens then they won't help much (I have seen them take
out re-wireable fuses)
