Carrying out a EICR. Stumbled on 2 x portacabins. Testing the ring in bottom portacab to find an SY 2.5mm has been spurred off the dado sockets, exits the bottom cab clipped externally upto the top of the top cab and supplies an LED flood. Automatically i thought its wrong. No spur. But im now thinking C3. Its a fixed load. It supplies 1 x light on the top of a high level portacabin. What are peoples thoughts? Obviously Zs commplying. The DB is inside the cab for local isolation.

The fuse is to protect the cable. If its a fixed load theres no chance of overload to the cable. The ocpd in db will supply fault protection. Additional RCD too.
it is your judgment to say c2 or c3 you the one that signs the test certs .

c2 or c3.
 
There are probably millions of non compliant spurs connected from ring final circuits which are never going to create a hazard. You must consider has this part of the circuit been correctly designed, no. Is the led light a fixed electrical load, no. Is the choice of SY cable the correct choice in respect to external influences, no. Is it acceptable to connect a multistranded conductor into the socket terminals with other conductors which are solid core??, no.
You decide.

fair enough,badpractice, but can you justify a C2 as a potential danger?
