Encased ceiling LED lights- can only an electrician replace them safely?

Well spotted dark star. I downloaded from the internet but then realised it is not an LED. Apologies....

Hmmm maybe it is. In my case, the electrician has confirmed that changing the light once the LED fails would require an electrician.

Similar light’s insides ( picture downloaded from internet). Not something a tenant could or should deal with....

Yes I feel I am a hostage to fortune and just waiting to get that call from the tenants to say the light has gone and they can’t replace it. I am sure the last one the agents installed in another property did not last anything like the 5-7 years the retailers quote. The property is in another city...

Hi Amy, the cover is removable but inside is a wired in light unit. You can’t simply remove the bulb and replace....

Have just had a total re wire done on rental house and the electrician installed 2 LED lights ( kitchen and bathrooms) which are supposed to last years but in my experience at another property can conk out earlier. At that property it required the agent’s contractor to come out and replace and charge...

Well, I have agreed to 25%. He is worried but I’ve tried to reassure him it’s not my style to withhold payment, unless a job is unfinished or substandard. He’s worked for me before albeit on a much smaller job, and did good work....

I’m getting s property re wired. The electrician is asking for 50% or £2000. I feel that is too much and have offered 25% up front. Does that sound OK. Thanks for any advice/ comments....

My goodness.” Interlaken” sorry about the misspelling....

thanks Interlakenhoheweg. I like Keep Calm and Carry on from a distance. I’m having a property completed re wired with updated electrics and paying £4000. The electrician has come back to me asking for a 50% deposit which I think is excessive. He tells me some customers are not paying up. I’m...

Thank you bald electrician I suspected as much. Good to know it’s not in “the regs”....

I have regained possession of a house which needs a total refurb. I have an electrician onside, but the property needs a total new kitchen, an updated bathroom and new carpets. There’s the added complication that it is not in the city where I live and I have no car so if trains stop I won’t be able...

Certainly, and a lot of it emanates from property agents.
it would be good to know re the separate electricity circuits for kitchens. I guess you are right, the best thing is to ask an electrician. If anyone comes along who knows, I’d be grateful....

I have been reading up on the new regs and the need for a report for tenancies started from July 2020. I rent a 3 bed flat to students. Current students planned to move out in late June ( May of course be earlier due to Covid 19 ). New ones due to move in in September 2020.
