    Testing lamp is rewired safely

    Thanks DPG, that's really kind. I'll do the tests Ziggie suggests and look at finding a PAT tester who won't break the bank in the meantime. Thanks for all your help, and stay safe!

    Testing lamp is rewired safely

    Thank you both for your help. Safety is key for me and something I do my best to take seriously (though none of these will be used by anyone but me!), but I'm also hampered by not having much in the way of funds to spend on them.

    Hi littlespark and DPG, thanks for getting back to me. I'd considered PAT testing but as it'd only be three or so items I imagine it would come in dear. Just to make sure I'm understanding you right - there's no way to test insulation resistance, continuity and earth bond with a more entry...

    Testing lamp is rewired safely

    Full disclosure, my electrical knowledge is close to zero, and despite trying to close the gap by reading up online I'm not much closer to a clear answer on what I imagine is a pretty simple question. I have some old anglepoise lamps that still need/needed rewiring. I've fitted one and will...
