The requirement for cables to be CPR tested, classified and certified became mandatory in the UK in July 2017, and that legal requirement remains in place today.

Myth – LSF and LSHF Cable are the same thing

Becca Garton2026-03-17T11:24:17+00:00March 2nd, 2026|

The world of cable is, at best, convoluted and, at worst, a massive can of writhing, slippery worms. It’s full of obscure acronyms and complicated standards, so it’s not surprising that, over time, a number of misconceptions have woven their way into the fabric of this vitally important sector of the construction industry. Part 2 in our series of cable myths focuses on LSF and LSHF and if it really matters which you use.

'We at M.I Electrical Contractors installed a flex7 system for the first time as an alternative to the stand-alone systems we had previously installed. It was a good decision, the product, the operation and the continued support made it a joy to install and more importantly ended with a very satisfied client.'

Myth – Cable needs to be BASEC approved

The world of cable is, at best, convoluted and, at worst, a massive can of writhing, slippery worms. It’s full of obscure acronyms and complicated standards, so it’s not surprising that, over time, a number of misconceptions have woven their way into the fabric of this vitally important sector of the construction industry. Probably the one I hear most often is: 'if it's not BASEC approved you can't use it'

Classrooms in the new building are all open ceilinged, meaning that the lighting connection and control system can not be hidden behind ceiling tiles. To get around this problem Dual Control Lighting Distribution Boxes are being installed in connected WCs (which do have a suspended ceiling) to discreetly share power between the 2 areas.

What’s the difference between LSF and LSHF cable?

“LSF, LSHF! Yeah, it’s the same stuff.” On behalf of every cable manufacturer out there, no, no and no again. That’s like saying a McLaren F1 and a Lada are the same because each has four wheels, get you from A to B (admittedly, not always the case with the Lada) and they’re both “cars”.

"Our client is really happy with their new lighting and the fact that they now have full control of it and can undertake changes if required rather than having to call out an expensive engineer on the old, closed protocol system that was installed"
