[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 289063, member: 18490"] My experience of testing lighting circuits has the readings noticeably higher than power circuits and I put it down to the greater resistance of smaller cables. I did consider bad conduit but there's no evidence of deterioation at the socket/switch/light points (which I appreciate is a very small fraction of the total installation!) Fly-leads - Do you mean strappers linking the metal back box to the brass front light switch? If so then yes there are plenty. They were noted on the previous PIR as missing. Bizarrely tho a lot have just green sleeving. So i think some were there and others were recently added. I guess further investigation on this is way more involved than anything i've done. I like learning curves, but I really wish i'd left this flat to someone else as it's played havoc with other work, social and family life! ON a personal note, I think shadowing more experienced testers is the way I need to go, because saying i'm not going to do jobs that need testing is as good as putting my tools down for good! PS thank you for your trouble and time. [/QUOTE]
