These Downlights Make Insulation Resistance Testing Easy

It seems like there's more and more kit out there to trip up the conscientious electrician who's just trying to make a living and do the job properly. Insulation resistance testing has become more and more of a headache with permanently connected loads making it harder and harder to get a clear reading.

This video explains the correct way to go about testing a lighting circuit for insulation resistance following updated guidance from the 2nd Amendment to the 18th edition of BS 7671.

We also take a look at how brands like Luceco Lighting are making it easier for electricians to comply with the regulations in the way they design their fittings, particularly the new FType Ultra.
