    Help.. no lights downstairs in my home

    I would have some fun doing eicr on that installation. Would need a couple of pages to write down faults me thinks. What do u mean by u crossed over and touched upstairs, giving u an electric shock?

    Looks like it will be cheaper for you to get a electrician in, before you do any more damage to you're house

    Help.. no lights downstairs in my home

    That would explain the extra cable. You might of had two electricians out but they didnt sound competent. You are best going onto niceic website and choosing an electrician from there.

    So is the outside light working?

    Help.. no lights downstairs in my home

    What is puzzling me is there is 4 lives in that wago connector. Loop in, loop out, live to switch. There seem to be another loop out to another fitting. Surely there cant be a fault on both. Unless the 2nd loop out isnt actually connected to a light. Ps its also been a long day so might not be...

    Realy think you are going to have to get a competent electrician in to solve this one for you.

    Have you tested to make sure there is a live and neutral at those connections?

    So he can test to make sure all lives are making a contact. Can re use it again once fault has been found. Ideally it wants putting in an inclosure as there is single insulation visable but that is the least of his worries Because i have come accross one when someone had not stripped off...

    Yes they are great when used correctly. Only asked him to use 15amp connector cause hard to get them wrong. Looking at the photo he has live in and two live outs so (not including the one to the switch) so problem has to be there unless both lives out have a fault

    Obviously make sure you have the power off when attempting this

    So its loop in at the light done very badly. Get rid of the wago conector on the lives (red) and put a 15amp connector (like the one on the neutrals) on it then you know all lives are making a contact

    I love trying to find faults like this. Shame im up in the lake district. This is exactly why we always wire our mains to the switches. So much easier to fault find. Again if its loop in at the light should be easy to find too, unless someone has been putting joint boxes on inaccessible places...

    led dimming problem(dimming up and down by themself)

    I have come accross this before a couple of years ago. If i remember rightly it was on a hamilton dimmer. Think i ended up putting a snubber accross the first light fitting, which solved the problem Or it could of been a dummy load. Cant quite remember now o_O

    DNO price for moving their service cable & meter.

    Sounds like alot of expense for litte gain.

    DNO price for moving their service cable & meter.

    Wilko is right. My dad works for enw and they charge about 1200 for a straight forward move. Thats normally you having to dig the trench yourself. Can be alot more depending on circumstances. It normally gets contracted out to another firm as well

    Bathroom Extractor Fan Problem...

    Im out then :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy: Yes you are correct you need to switch the light on to activate the fan. Without physically looking at it not sure what else to suggest. Good luck with finding the problem

    Bathroom Extractor Fan Problem...

    But in the other configuration u said the fan ran constantly. Could that of been because the timer was set to max making it seem the fan ran constantly. Just a thought. I have been given faulty fans before, but to get two in a row is very unlucky

    Bathroom Extractor Fan Problem...

    Its not something straight forward like the over run timer set to max. Some fans can over run for along time.

    Bathroom Extractor Fan Problem...

    If you have a multimeter test between the line (brown) and neutral (grey) with the light switch on and switch line (black) and neutral at the fan. You should get 230v with both of them. Turn the light switch off. The switch line will be dead and you should still have 230v between the brown and...
