Surely taking it down will allow entry to its ‘guts’ and terminations?
Is it a cafe or a kitchen - seems a random lot of persons AND a baguette!

I put it to you that if it were a cafe then the baguette would be on a plate and not in a plastic bag.
Also the guy on the left has the Elecsa logo on his hoodie which suggests he is an electrician or at least works for a company that is registered with them.
My guess is that the guy in the jazzy shirt and the woman in the headscarf are the tenants/homeowners and in fact may well be a couple.

Adam.W Private Investigator at your service!
Shouldn’t the electrician be holding the fibreglass steps that his mate is taking a photo from rather than holding up the blue wall!
I thought, going by the guys sweater that it was taken in a small Peruvian cafe somewhere deep in the Himalayas
and the baguette had just arrived!
I guess that’s the difference between your ‘fact’ and my ‘fiction’!

I agree that it could be some kind of knitwear, but those steps are designed to be used by one person, leaving his mate (possibly apprentice) free to chat to the couple.
I may be able to accept your assessment of the baguette if there weren't a pack of crumpets/teacakes/American style pancakes in the same condition on the other side of the island unit.
What is casting doubt in my mind is the insect killer on the wall, which I would expect to see in a commercial catering premise but not in a dwelling, especially not one which is fed from a dedicated SFCU (the insect killer, not the dwelling).

It could be a Peruvian-themed cafe in the Himalayas - if it were a Peruvian cafe in Peru then there would be no need to stipulate that it's Peruvian, you'd just call it 'a cafe'.

Keep going Adam, you’re on a roll - it’s like an episode of CSI where the killer is caught before my Pukka pie is heated to perfection!

I think the rod part justs clicks in and out and the ceiling part is installed with like downlight wings. If it is E.L.V. there could be a transformer above. The existing other lighting could be a clue of the manufacturer and type of lamps fitted.

Great detective work, and brilliant comments.
The lad is my son/apprentice.
It is some ones kitchen, and they do own a restaurant.
Looking at the end of long bar at the top there is an inner part that is insulated from the outer, the outer is threaded so when it's screwed in the centre part connects to the live. I can't even see how to remove the ceiling part.

If the gentleman in the Peruvian woolly shirt is the owner, doesn’t he have paperwork concerning the original installation of the light? Maybe who fitted it in the first place.
Even if you find out the make and model number, it could be out of date now and replacements not available.

I would have thought it was arranged something like this
A bracket (or conduit box) at the ceiling with a threaded rod, over which the ceiling cover plate is placed and a coupler threaded on top to hold the plate and to allow the pendant rod to be connected to the coupler.

Richard- No it's nothing like that.
I'm not sure when I will be back there but when I do I'll have to bring it home for a close look and try to dismantle.
Thanks for all the comments.

It could be a version of a uniplug system such as Bruck (it's not Bruck though).
If it is, the white ferrule at the top of the rod will unscrew allowing the top to "unplug" from the ceiling socket.
Then unscrew the knurled nut on the socket to release the ceiling plate.
