??I say bonkers because earth and neutral are already looping around the fittings, so doing the same with live seems obvious. I'd question the council's logic - what if they take a switch off?

One of my Pet hates as well UNG.I don't normally take a switch off to change a light fitting may be you do, the council's logic is no looped live at the fitting reduces the risk of a tenant harming themselves, calling them bonkers or any other names won't matter to them they have their reasons for this specification
I find it bonkers that you limit access to your profile on here so it gives us no clue to who or what you are but that is life

Sorry Ung, not trying to be contentious.
Forgive use of language - just find the single wire system over complex - guess that's why it's been phased out, no?
touche.Excuse my ignorance when was it phased out as I still occasionally use it when wiring wall lights and other situations where it is or will be difficult to hide a lot of cables
If you find the single wire system complex what are your views on the many different ways of wiring a 2 way lighting circuit
Cut my teeth wiring new builds in singles, easy peasy method.Excuse my ignorance when was it phased out as I still occasionally use it when wiring wall lights and other situations where it is or will be difficult to hide a lot of cables

you still got any teeth left? stripping VIR singles wreaks havoc on the incisors.Cut my teeth wiring new builds in singles, easy peasy method.

True very True, back when UNG? I'm talking early 60s, 1960s for those who need to ask.The training was a lot better back then

No sign of MCB tripping during this round of tests so I'm putting this down to a poor MCB,
Yes Charlie, live looped through switches (2-way in the second room) and neutrals/earths looped via pendants - bonkers system IMHO
