Feeling down on downlight installation? Not sure what you are allowed or not allowed to do? Fret no more, the way is clear!

Lighting installers at any level should be aware of the need to comply with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) in both commercial and residential installations.

There has been a lot of talk about solar and photovoltaic systems of late, mainly because of Government incentive packages for the installation of these systems in homes coming to a close.

There are very real risks you take when buying products that don’t comply, says Clipsal standardisation manager Gary Busbridge.

It is recommended that any electrical accessories that have been submerged in floodwaters for any length of time be replaced.
