[QUOTE="Borgy, post: 476044, member: 31045"] I bought a outdoor metal arm which has a min cctv camera inside, has arm with a M10 female thread, with electrical connection inside and earth bond inside to metal base. This is sold with no safety info for fitting, shows like you are buying a complete light fitting so was surprised to see it was a arm only, no light fittings with a hole in the arm and no cables. It has a CE Mark but no Rosh details as there is a PCB board fitted. So it's class1 and fitted outdoors at your door and easy to be touched by other people. The selling info don't say you should seek professional advice to fit. Have to find fitting to fit the M10 thread. Light holder, metal top with glass and wire it, make sure it's earthed. Connect to supply with protection via RCD at Correct fuse rate. But this item has been converted, and at min needs a pat test, and checked by A qualified electrical person to make sure correct parts and cable used and protected. What do you think about these light holders and best way it should be converted to a light. [/QUOTE]
