[QUOTE="roys, post: 464761, member: 5044"] I personally can't see an issue re combustibility, if it is a concern to you then you can get batten holders that have a backplate, MK and maybe Crabtree make them. Cable restraint is an issue, that is why I suggested a P clip, you will have to ensure you pick the right size P clip that will get a good grip on the the flex, I have seen me having to use 2 P clips butted beside each other to give added security by stopping the flex moving too much. Earths even if not used should be provided and continuous at each fitting, note how I had to join and terminate mine into a piece of term block. If your batten holders have a back plate they will probably have an Earth post to connect on to. This is in case the light fitting is changed to a metal one in the future then the earthing is there. Of course each install has to have its own hazards checked and mitigated against and this is usually by good workmanship and work practice. Ahh Ardet is a faster typer, 😀but good to see we are saying the same thing. [/QUOTE]
