    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    That might just be the best advice I have heard all day:-)

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    The agent arranged everything and I don't know who it is. I don't trust the agents as far as I can throw them so that's not a good start.

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    Yes everyone has been very helpful - thank you. I will wait and see what the electrician says about the reason for replacing them and take from there. I do want to do the right thing, but not waste a lot of money doing so. Cheers:-)

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    I didn't actually ask for anything. The agent prompted me that it had been 3 years since the last "which ever it is" and suggested organising it again so I am only guessing if its a report or a certificate. I didn't know there were two possibilities.

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    I completely agree and the electrician has been in to do it. My point is should I need to replace all these lights to get a pass when I have never had a problem before.

    I have a feeling he thinks I was born yesterday:-)

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    That's a very valid point, they are standard halogen bulbs. That isn't what they said in the initial email though. I will get more clarification.

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    That's a good question. The managing agent organised it but I believe its a "report". I have emailed them for the details of the regulation they are concerned about.

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    The certificate is not required, but as its a rented property I like to know there isn't something lurking in there.

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    The electrician said he needs to replace all of them before he can issue the certificate so I have no code at this point. I'm not sure what you mean about the reg number in this context?

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    That was essentially my understanding from reading around too although I suspect I would fit fire rated if I were replacing them anyway. Should it get a certificate with the existing downlights or were all the previous electricians who passed it wrong? It has had a certificate every 3 years(ish).

    I'm the landlord of the property

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    Thanks for the reply. It's a rented property. It didn't fail the last check 3 years ago so I'm suspicious it shouldn't need to be updated.

    Electrical safety certificate and downlights

    Hi, If a house is fitted with non-fire rated downlighters between the ground and first floor back when this was common, should they need to be replaced before the property could get a safety certificate? Cheers, Tom
