    Where can I get parts to repair a customers broken lamp post? Only two of the three lamps work but all are badly corroded.

    I think you are correct. I know there are a lot of reproductions around but I think this is an original cast iron lamp post with the original top removed and replaced with an aluminium top. I think I'll try to remove the lampholders and replace them. I suspect the original filament bulbs kept...

    I think they get away with it as it's the last house in a cul-de-sac.

    Where can I get parts to repair a customers broken lamp post? Only two of the three lamps work but all are badly corroded.

    I can't get to the lamp fittings, which are at the bottom of the lamp but accessible from the top. There is a lot of corrosion. No doubt the original filament lights kept everything dry, unlike the LED's.

    GU10's Failing

    I am planning to replace the 8 failed lamps with Aurora ones and see what happens to these. If others fail it will point to faulty lamps, if the Aurora lamps fail it could be a problem with the supply. I'll also place a thermometer in the ceiling void to record the max. and min. temperatures...

    Best EV Charger without Earth Rod?

    I have three concerns. Firstly getting a good enough earth in an area which is very sandy and avoiding other services, water, gas and the 2 metre space between incoming electrical cables. Finally, avoiding the extra work involved compared to products like the Zappi chargers. 1600976801 The Matt...

    GU10's Failing

    I think we all agree that most LED lamps are very reliable, even the cheaper ones from LAP and Tel's cheap Chinese lamps. What I am trying to understand is what could be causing this problem? Is it just faulty bulbs or could it be some other cause and if the latter, what could this be?

    Yes, but little response. So, tires the Lighting Forum, which is proving a lot more helpful.

    GU10's Failing

    5W LedHut 4000k. GU10, so no driver. I think they are Non Dimmable but may be dimmable. 28 Lamps on two circuits each with 10A rocker switches on a multi grid. High ceiling (4M) plasterboard, office above. 230v Not sure how hot it gets in ceiling void. I'd have to put a thermometer in to find out.

    Best EV Charger without Earth Rod?

    Plan to offer installation of EV Chargers, but not interested in using Earth Rods. I can only find two products, Zappi and Podpoint. Are there any others? Who would other EV installers recommend?

    GU10's Failing

    Replaced 28No. 12v Halogen with GU10 LED's at a hairdressing salon about 4 years ago. Some time passed and customer asked me to replace a couple which began to fade, which I did. Then a few more failed and I replaced. Now 8 have gone dim and need replacing. Any idea what the problem could be...

    LED Spots going dim

    About 4 years ago I replaced 20+ halogen spots with GU10 LED's. I didn't change the downlights but removed the LV transformers. Every time the customer asks for other electrical work they report that a few bulbs have gone dim and I replaced them. Today, more work but 7 more bulbs need changing...

    Phantom EICR story...

    NICEIC don't cover me for EICRs as I am just a Domestic Electrician, not a Qualified Supervisor. So, I don't do many. However, a customer, who owns a HMO, needed one doing in a hurry for his Council Licence. Before I visited the property, I collected the last two EICRs and was surprised to see...

    Doepke Busbar

    I wouldn't usually consider using an MCB which differs from the board but I can't buy a new Doepke MCB. Only second hand ones are available.

    Doepke Busbar

    I was unable to add a new MCB (tried CED and MK) to a Doepke consumer unit because their busbar seems to be a unique shape. photo attached. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, what solution worked.
