ELIP on high level lights

[Dizzy_Maskell]

Quick one chaps in a warehouse environment etc where there are light fittings at very high level what do people do about elip.

We spoke to a lecturer once who told us in a couple of years elip on lights above 1M of the ground will become redundant.

This is because the risk of electric shock from that fitting is considerably less than the risk of obtaining the result and risk of injury from working at height.

Thoughts..........

Once upon a time any light over a certain height didn't have to have an earth.

Could always just lower the ceiling to test and put it back up again

use the phase at the switch....

then a long insulated pole with a prod on the end....

4mm multi-lam into the pole....

use a 2 wire loop tester....

Health and safety first, you could always just get a MEWP in to give a safe platform just swing the book through some French doors
