Quick question ;)
Neighbour has asked me to install an outside light for her and skimming the Part P Faq it would seem to be non notifiable since it's going on an external wall and on an existing lighting circuit.
However, it also says "garden lighting" is a special location (and thus notifiable), so when does an outside light become "garden lighting"? I was thinking when it's no longer attached directly to a house wall - but I doubt it's that simple...

Just carry on and do the installation. As long as the whole thing is done properly you have no worries. Just make sure you do "Do" it properly and to current electrical installation safety requirements.
Of course. Wouldn't do it otherwise ;)

But watch out for the Part P police coming round .

LOL !!!
Just heard on the radio that the re-classification of cannabis from class B to C has released X 100,000 hours of police time. Seems it took about 4 hours to process a possession charge. So they'll have lots of time on their hands to deal with more important things like this.
Well provided you make a start on it before 1 Jan, Part P won;t affect you anyway!

Or just f*ck Part P altogether and do it whenever you want anyway.
If it was something I was doing for myself, then I'd tend to agree :) As it's a favour for someone else, it seemed best to check...

Yes, forget the old lady who just got mugged, lets catch the real criminals.

Fairynuff. At least you checked, even though you probably could do it quite safely. Most people who don't know what they're doing won't bother... Anyway, we've been here before.
And the part L ones. External lights should be "energy efficient" which presumably means CFLs.
...and while you're at it, keep all the light below the horizontal to reduce light pollution! ;-)

Pity this doesn't apply to some of the Xmas decorations round here.
Wouldn't it be great if all the people with horizontally aimed PIRs realised that they should aim them down.
Also - Golf driving ranges - they seem good at having circularl lights aimed horizontally.
In which case just remember to tell them to not admit it was done after the regs come in.
