    Buying an antique hanging light fixture with original wiring

    I am hoping to buy an antique (1929) plafonnier or hanging light fixture. It has not been rewired since it was first made and, despite living in France for over 40 years, I don't have the faintest idea where I could get it rewired and the equivalent of PAT tested. Can anyone advise me please?

    Changing light fixture

    Hi, I have changed our light fixture that used 3x 7w e14 bulbs to 30w led panel, but the light does not work. The wiring is correct and both lights are rated 230v 50hz. Do I need LED driver or is there possibly some other problem? Thank you in advance.
