Ok,
glad you got your readings sorted
bottom line is that this breaks a number of regs (16th edition). It depends if the council 'defines' what Cat I is. When an old dear falls down the stairs due loss of lights due to a spurious trip on an unrelated circuit, they may take notice, particularly if sued.......
