    FUSE REPLACEMENT

    There seems to be a lot of heating at the right hand side of that cutout, I wonder if it failed due to a poor/loose connection on the spade crimp?

    Could you work without a smartphone?

    Unfortunately everything seems to need the installation manual downloading from the internet, or setting up via an app, so it would likely be difficult. I used a digital camera for years even when out work phones started having cameras built in as early models were not good, lacked a flash etc...

    Well they certainly never went anywhere near the installers eyes.

    Removing Transformer From Halogen Light Fitting For LEDS?

    A 12V led power supply with a wattage rating ≥ the total load of the LED lamps is needed. I would generally consider an LED 'driver' to be of the constant current type power supply for running series strings of LEDs, not suitable for you application.

    What's wrong with my MR16 LED Light Bulbs, GU5.3?

    Oh damn I've started replying to old posts again!

    Removing Transformer From Halogen Light Fitting For LEDS?

    The components inside can make noise when being run outside their specified operating conditions, especially wound components.

    Removing Transformer From Halogen Light Fitting For LEDS?

    Use halogen lamps or swap the fitting. You certainly can't wire it direct to the mains, the construction of the fitting is not designed for that to be carried out safely. You may be able to swap the transformer for an LED compatible one there are a few suppliers of round led power supplies...

    Posh flood/uplight recommendations

    Most lighting now is crap and unreliable, no matter what you spend. What short of light levels do you need?

    What's wrong with my MR16 LED Light Bulbs, GU5.3?

    As above, your 'transformer' label states 10-60Watts the 5W LED lamps are below the minimum rating and it is likely then shutting down. Even with a higher load there is no guarantee that the LEDs will work with the old halogen supply as the output is a rough high frequency AC. We wouldn't even...

    Wow, untidy and unsafe!

    Is this legal to install in the UK?

    They are used extensively inside other luminaires. All the UVC 'filters' I've ever worked on / installed have all had moulded connectors, most have some sort of splash proof rating. All the recent ones have been single connector using the lamps with all 4 pins at one end.

    First day back to work in 2024 and it's started already. Thank goodness this is all being demolished. Junction box as found, lid missing, metal box not earthed, neutrals from multiple lighting circuits mixed up, wiring extended via front of box. flexible conduit poked into female adaptors...

    3 phase problem after spark did 5 year safety inspection

    There have been several reports of Hager RCCBs detonating when the test button is pushed which then blows the cutout fuse, it also happened to me a few years back, really loud.

    Experience and cost of thermite (exothermic) welding

    That does look like fun I must admit! The end result looked rather tidy.

    UK Can anyone tell me what is wrong/incorrect.

    This is why experienced engineers should be making the regulations not brain dead office staff. Surely a separate isolator in an enclosure and the extra time required to fit it would add up to more than £6?!
