Low voltage lighting in 18th edition?
Same bloke in TLC Direct in the lamp holder post, reckoned that the 18th
edition will specify that all new lighting installations after a certain date will have to be low voltage. Anyone heard this? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman |

That would make sense when everyone is using LEDs. Though incandescents can be low voltage and no-one suggested that all your lighting circuits should be supplied from a transformer. Then it wouldn't matter if you stuck your fingers in the sockets (as I suggested in another post). -- Max Demian |

Low voltage lighting in 18th edition?
No but I'd often wondered why the combined brains of the world could not
come up with a better lampholder design than ES or BC, one that does not leave the contacts directly exposed when no bulb is present. I'm sure there were many such designs proposed back when tomorrows World was on the telly. When I was young my gran had an electric iron that had a BC male connector on it to plug into a lamp socket. so we have come a long way since then, or have we?

There are a number of BC lampholders that are perfectly safe. One type have springs that have to be depressed to make contact inside the holder. They are not live unless pressed hard. A better type have a built in 'switch'. The bulb is inserted, then rotated to lock. The rotation operates the switch. -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.

But if they have to mark everything 240V rather than 230V its going to put up the price. Not that paying more has any effect on brexiteers. |

Somewhere in the world a factory is making lamps for Australia Specification says 240 Volt https://www.lightonline.com.au/gls-b...st-60w-bayonet same for New Zealand http://thelightbulbshop.co.nz/incand...1#.WJ-wffZ4jIU Fairly sure that India is still 240 as well, Shouldn't be too difficult to find who supplies those places and get those versions. Whether the actual lamps differ from the 230 ones coming out of the same Chinese factory I would not know. G.Harman |

No but I'd often wondered why the combined brains of the world could not come up with a better lampholder design than ES or BC, one that does not leave the contacts directly exposed when no bulb is present. I'm sure there were many such designs proposed back when tomorrows World was on the telly. When I was young my gran had an electric iron that had a BC male connector on it to plug into a lamp socket. so we have come a long way since then, or have we? Brian I recently bought a batten lampholder that has shielded BC contacts. |

It's OK because lamp-holders are all high up so the kids can't stick their fingers in. Wrong answer. I think I was 6. NT |

Nothing to do with what is or isn't LV. I appreciate that but I assumed 230V was chosen for a reason and I was commenting on that reasoning. Those evil foreigners who are trying to stop us having real English posh rulers to tug our forelocks to all use 230V At least we are not on 120V like some poor sods. -- Adam |
