please could anybody explain why I am getting a high insulation test live to earth on a chandelier with 7 of the above lamps in when a lamp is removed the reading improves by 2 m ohms for each one.

so that's well over the "pass" value of 1 MΩ. why bother further?
don't mention dribbling. we're all getting older daily. :ack2:
what type of lamps are fitted? and what base configuration?
and 7 equal resistances in parallel will give a combined resistance of 1/7 of each.
so test from the L or N terminal to the BC base on each lamp ( with the lamp out ). see if you get a reading.
...If i have read and calculated correctly,those figures put the initial test,with no lamps,at 30 meg ohms,so hardly a stella score to start with.Although,perfectly acceptable. Can the OP give any details of construction,age and design of fitting?
Is is new fitting with all the lampholders wired seperatly back to the centre rose in 3 core flex. My question is why is there reading from live to earth through a new 52 w halogen type lamp. Am I not making myself clear or does nobody on here know the answer if that is the case I will endeavour to explore other avenues instead. Thankyou
