Andy,

thanks for this info, it helps a lot. Looks like I will not be putting in that pendants after all. Very difficult to find fixtures that conforms to all that regulations and still look good.

This part worried me a bit though, (perhaps you can clear this up for me if you don't mind):

in a version of the SANS 10142 that I downloaded from the web it says:

does that mean it is not relevant anymore, or has it moved somewhere else?

thanks
