EICR and outside lighting Discussion ThreadEICR and outside lighting Electrical Advice
Hello,
How would you go about testing outside lights on an EICR if they are supplied off an outside socket?
The sockets are supplied off the downstairs ring main, inside there is a 13amp switched fuse spur, then a double pole isolator running outside to 3 x double outdoor sockets all run in SWA. There is a ‘Knightsbridge remote control lighting switch’ inside a weatherproof box plugged into one of the sockets and that supplies 5 x lights fitted on the wall.
All SWA glands are fitted correct supplying the sockets, hi tuff cable is used for supplying the lights, all adaptable boxes and light fittings are correctly IP rated.
The lights can be unplugged (if you remove a small decking board) so would they be included in the test?
Thanks.
