Advice on PAT testing of old lights

Fair point. I see what your saying.

The PAT is a simple safety insp / test. It consists of visual inspection for damage, correct fuse etc, earth continuity test (only if Class 1, not applicable if Class 2) and an insulation resistance test. You could just rewire them yourself and get it PAT again.

If you do that, you become a manufacturer surely and have to run production tests etc.

And he is selling them, so they aren't hanging anywhere. If this was hanging you would still give it a similar test for earth continuity etc.

Selling items imposes lots of problems, you are putting the item on the market, so you have to ensure it is safe and complies with all legislation where applicable.
