    That would be the response I would expect from 90% of electrical contractors in SA.

    Just a note with regards to the fuse in the light fitting, a fuse would be more of a pain in the butt, if you have ever installed a PioLED lamp the wrong way it creates a dead short between live and neutral which results in the circuit breaker tripping in the DB.

    If there was a fuse, you would have to take a sample and drive all the way back to the wholesaler, the easy solution, just cut the wire and bypass it.

    That's not what we say. That's what note 3 on the test report says.

    Be that as it may, I did another retrofit this morning and the Brother works a treat.
