    Nest installation wiring help

    Wilko, I feel like a bloody Muppet, your absolutely right!!! I remember now when isolating at the board it was not supplied from the hot water circuit but only isolated when the sockets were turned off. That's it, spured off the ring main. Brilliant, Many thanks.

    Exterior lighting

    I had heard silicone is not that great, apart from anything unless it is completely dry it conducts!!!! Also it can eat copper depending on the additives. That said this stuff is not exactly cheap so wouldnt mind an alternative lol

    Westward, The silicone sealing idea made my brain tick lol, so have been doing a bit of reading, have you ever used magic gel as this would seem the perfect solution!!!

    Exterior lighting

    No problem, I could but no need really. I could get away with having one junction box at the beginning of the 4 lights but what I want to do is run them 1 after the other. I have tried to show what I mean in the attached pic

    Exterior lighting

    Hi Westward, On the back of the cable entry (base of the light) their is a simple rubber grommet used to maintain ip rating, dont think it would be big enough to put two cables in through and if I did definitely wouldn't maintain rating or it would just split.

    Hi all, I have been asked to swap an exterior tube lighting thing to 4 wall lights over a shop front for a friend. My question is what would you guys use for the neatest and tidiest way of splitting the cables e.g. From light 1 to light 2 etc etc? I cant do inside the light fitting as they just...
