Is the rest of the lighting circuit earthed? in other words has some Dilbert just run a 2 core cable to the units off of the existing circuit ?Wired direct into the lighting circuit.

Was going to ask the same thing but you beat me to itSo you are saying there is a cpc present but it has no continuity, or there is no cpc present.
Yes, I was not thinking straight. There is a CPC in the upstairs 1980’s extension but no earth continuity. I had assumed that as there were no class 1 fittings upstairs (Until I discovered the Florescent fittings) that the 80’s extension wiring had extended the non earthed old lighting circuit, but it should have been earthed when it was built, so I will need to be investigating and re-instating the earth to the upstairs lighting circuit and confirming the old part of the building is earthed.So you are saying there is a cpc present but it has no continuity, or there is no cpc present.
Probably find that some Dilbert doing the 2nd fix cut all the cpcs off because "they aren't needed"Yes, I was not thinking straight.

once you have used the cpc to strip the sheath, it is redundant. it is an ex cpc, not dead, just resting.Probably find that some Dilbert doing the 2nd fix cut all the cpcs off because "they aren't needed"
