is this acceptable?

[LankyWill]

Did some work for a friend and want to know if i did it right. As in regs compliant. I came off an existing lighting circuit to a sw fused spur. I used a 3A fuse to stop nuisance tripping. All the bends are done by hand and there was previously no conduit so i altered previous work. I sealed the all holes with silicone and made sure the connections were bomb tight. Im only newly qualified and did this off my own back. Any advice/ideas would be nice.

Can't see why not myself, tidy job.

Why are you asking?

 

[telectrix]

he's asking opinions as he's newly qualified. probably a bit unsure now he';s out in the real world.

Not sure how your 3A fuse will stop nuisance tripping and the black stop box on white looks fancy , bit of flex on the outside bit to the light would look tidier and the grey t & e will go brittle eventually. Just my opinions looks tidy enough.

Hard to tell from the photos, but if it is T&E to the fixture that'd ruin it for me.

Forgive the tone mate (because I don't want to sound like I'm having a go at you because I've no reason to) but what does your regs book say?
Tidy looking job, you've obviously got some skill. In time you'll have confidence too.

Yeah i ran out of white end boxes and had a black one spare so i thought i would save him a few bob . Wrong terminology, i meant it will blow the fuse as oppose to mcb, the last thing you want is all the lights going off for a stray cat. Yeah nice thought on the flex would look better, i will pop round and connector block out that 1mm inside the 2 way conduit box.

Thanks for the advice, any helps as i am still learning new things day to day.

it says that twin and earth is not uv protected and will eventually degrade i suppose. I will swap it for some flex, which in turn will look better.

In the first picture you could have put a set in where the pipe drops back onto the blockwork.

And the cable to the light looks suspiciously like grey T&E instead of the UV resistant cable which is required externally.
