A final reference to SAP 2005 on which the EPC is based.

There is a clause that enquires what percentage of the light sockets
are fitted with low energy lamps.

This specification is aimed at new constructions. So how many new
houses are sold with all the light fittings installed?

The two near me were, and all decorated too. I suspect they would
find them significantly harder to sell otherwise, or fetch a lower
price (significantly lower than the cost of decorating and lights).

It's part of the Building Regs now that the installer has to comply with
- 75% of new lights have to be 'energy savers'.
I'd presume it would be hard to comply if you left plain bayonet
fittings dangling with no bulbs in them.
