Funny this should come up.
Am i right in saying that my Consumer Unit does not have RCD protection on the lighting circuits?
Is flex cable required in this case?

Correct it doesn’t but those MCBs could be swapped for a RCBO’s so the circuit has got RCD protection
You are correct.
Thank you.
So, i should swap the two lighting MCB's for RCBO's
And i can leave the other MCB's because they are RCD protected?

Some incandescent bulbs (especially spots) used to trip MCBs due to a brief surge.
But not RCDs.
If your RCBOs tripped it would be the overload tripping the MCB in it.
