Hi all
Sorry if this has come up before. I imagine it has, but all I could find were: a) contradictory answers, and b) old answers, which may now be out of date.
We are getting a bathroom overhaul done soon and as part of it will replace the light. I know it has to be rated correctly for the zone. What I'm not sure about is whether I am allowed to put the new light up? It will be using the existing wiring. No new wires needed. The current pendant simply has three wires going in, so is a very simple change. I'm confident doing it, but wanted to check if I'm allowed.
Many thanks
Changing a light fitting in a bathroom (no new wiring). Can it be DIY'd?

So long as the light fitting is suitable for a bathroom yes you can change it yourself.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
