Anyone seen this symbol before? 61240FE7-826D-406E-9383-5D4A60A05E1D - EletriciansForums.net Anyone seen this symbol before? 8912B7D2-6B2A-4CAB-A23B-70E395BE1F70 - EletriciansForums.net Logo in the bottom right corner - looks like I shouldn’t be installing them in a home.

Also - 30 of them needed per lamp at 15w each - two lights (one already installed by customer) + other lights.
It’s right up close to maximum demand - even with diversity.....

Customer supplied lamps - time for a chat - but to put LED’s in will cost £££££

Appliance lamp, FRIDGE, COOKER
 
The symbol means that it is not intended for general domestic lighting use because it does not meet the minimum efficiency requirement. For example, a fitting with those in won't comply with part L, so they can't be sold as GLS lamps.
 
Reminds me of a job i had last year in a huge apartment building in Bath called Empire, it was once a grand hotel before being taken over by admiralty during the war.I had to change some bulbs in a similar chandelier type fitting. thought ah nice easy job.
Got there and it was on top floor above the grand staircase with a 4 storey drop directly below in between staircase. i stood on ground floor looking up and thought bloody heck
had to arrange for some scaffolding to be put up to bridge the gap between the stairs as there was no way to reach it as somehow the old winch system to lower it and raise it had seized up and had since been welded.
 
If the customer can afford a house where that sort of light fitting is installed then he can afford the replacements even if the are LED's.

Oh and don't show him this,

see that's where you london boyz get it all wrong. should have had Scousers to take the chandelier down. it would not have gotten broken. OK< customer would never see it again but at least it would have been nicked with style.
 
He also wants them dimmed.
So that’s 900 watts through a dimmer. I think they are rated to 600 Watts max.
In a 16mm box.
Oh dear.
Other than that a relatively straight foreward day!
