    That is the problem with self regulation in the industry, and the electrical authorities will prosecute you for any breaches but seems to turn a blind eye as to what is imported into this country.

    I'm surprised we dont have imported cable yet.....
    Getting quite off topic to the OP problem...

    But most all pre made 10mm Glass shower screens come from China now.
    As do all of Reeces acrylic Baths... some basin, toilets and tap wear.

    So weight clearly isnt the issue when importing.

    i guess perhaps a way around the AS3000 rules is to have your lights plug in, but then comes the issue of when flexable wiring becomes fixed wiring...

    The introduction of more and more of these Chinese fittings will continue....
    As we all know... until someone is injured, killed or a house burns down, not much will become of it.

    I guess its up to each Sparky to cover themselves with their own vigilance.

    LED lighting still has a long way to come to sort out all its issues and compatibility.
    I just laugh at the amount of hidden LED Drivers, Tx's behind switches in walls... the regular handy man or owner is going to have no idea when it comes to repairing these things
