now to bring some controversy into the equation. its in a porch. it's attached to the building fabric. so not notifiable. minor works certificate.
so what if he fits an outside door to the porch? it's indoors then. will re-read part p when next i get bored out of my skull.i think its an Outdoor light and should be treated as such..!
my interpretation of part pee exactly.Funnily enough I was about to ask this same question, as I also read somewhere that if the fitting is attached to the building then it does not need notifying. Can anyone else clarify this ??
Didn't he say the lights were going in the soffit? Making them outside and exposed?so what if he fits an outside door to the porch? it's indoors then. will re-read part p when next i get bored out of my skull.
So its an EIC then and not a minor works, due to upside down rain.
For some reason I am now singing purple rain.......................
no, becasuse that's special location. see malc's post#50So can you get out of having to notify work in kitchens and bathrooms by screwing the fittings to the fabric of the building?
(i)
The installation of equipment attached to the
outside wall of a house (for example security
lighting, air conditioning equipment and radon
fans) is not notifiable provided that there are
no exposed outdoor connections and the
work does not involve the installation of a
new circuit or the extension of a circuit in a
kitchen or special location or associated with
a special installation.
I would say that Tel was right and it is not notifiable, as long as it adheres to above taken from the Part P silliness.
the bit about exposed outdoor connections. one could argue that this would make a socket outlet notifiable, but then if it was IP55 with a flap on, there's then no exposed outdoor connections, so it would be non-notifiable. typical part pee confusion.I re-read this and would agree with Tel. Less money to pay Elecsa then as I've always notified outside lights!

I stand corrected.(i)

and the relevance to all things electrical is ???????squirrels are well known for attacking nests. If you do a web search on how to deter them you may come up with something.
nope not all outside fittings are ip 4 rated some are only ip2 so not such a stupid answer was it. know it all
