[QUOTE="Revved Up Sparky, post: 427969, member: 5050"] I currently work as an electrical inspector for a large electrical contracting company, my main role is to inspect, test and certify work done by installation teams. On an install on Friday I noticed that 15 Ansell light fittings have been installed, each with a connector block at the top mounted on a baseplate. As you can see from the photographs, the connections are unenclosed. When I queried this with the young installer he shrugged his shoulders and said that was the only way they could be installed. Has anybody ever fitted this type of light fitting ?. No manufacturers info was available for me on site for me to check. I think that the baseplate with connector block should have been recessed into the ceiling and screwed to a noggin behind. Any thoughts gratefully received. Thanks. Simon.
