Bill:

If these sort of proposals are at local city level, I would've thought it's going to impose a heavy burden on journeymen to learn the multitude of (ever-changing) rules from town to town that they work in. I guess many of you there are already used to dealing with peculiar city ordinances, but it's just something extra to worry about.

Furthermore, if a city has a 60W uplight restriction, I can see a homeowner claiming "That's what the sparky put in" and the electrician counter-claiming with "I put in 60W, the owner musthave changed it."

Stalemate - Who gets the blame?
