    Philips Ultra-Energy Saving Light Bulbs

    At the price for 1x gu10 they’d need to last 50 years

    Starting apprenticeship next month, looking for general advice

    I don’t have any experience in that environment but my advice is be on time, listen to what you’re being told and keep your phone in your pocket. Remember those teaching you are trying to do their own job at the same time so don’t take it for granted, have a good attitude towards work and it’ll...

    Have you done any IR testing? If so what are the results? It’s well past its service life

    What sports do you play?

    Still playing football and play darts too. Used to play a bit of snooker but wasn’t much use at it.

    C-TEC fire alarm compatibility

    I don’t think avoiding the rewire or at the least some additional cables is going to work

    Ever feel as though your being setup to fail.

    If that is the case and you have identified a gap in the market in your local area, and can’t follow the path you want to (apprenticeship), then a domestic installer course with an eye on domestic home automation could be an option?

    UK Earthing back to neighbours in terrace?

    No you’re correct in what you’re doing, although I’d expect the provider to be able to answer your question. If you make a case that it’s ‘unsafe’ I’m sure their response will be quicker.

    Ring or radial in bungalow

    In what way do you anticipate that minimising it? It eliminates 1 single cable run and severely limits the capacity of the circuit, doubt 4mm will be up to a 32a radial if serving the entire house unless it’s specifically installed to a certain installation method.

    Charging user for socket

    I’ve never actually seen a socket with this capability although such a product could exist. This is could easily be achieved with a system or your choice (presumably addressable) and a timed relay feeding a socket etc, depends though how in depth you want the analysis and how many points you’re...

    Ever feel as though your being setup to fail.

    The well known national alarm installers here are, in my experience, absolutely horrendous. Their rats nests of cables or as the crow flys cable routes are beyond belief and it amazes me they get away with it whilst still having such an arrogance about them. On another note, the job takes what...

    Planning garage sub-main project

    If you’re using twin and earth depending on your route maybe, then no rcd in garage. If swa straight to board no rcd protection in house just in garage board. In all honesty this is really basic stuff that you should know.

    Worth becoming an electrician with no drivers license?

    Factory maintenance jobs are in abundance right now. Job sites seem to be littered with them. You absolutely can make a living without a license but site work would be challenging with ever changing locations

    Does anyone know anything about Cranford Controls?

    I’m not familiar with them whatsoever and only heard of them for the first time after googling them when I seen your post. I have used products like theirs in the past but different brands as I have never seen theirs on sale.

    Planning garage sub-main project

    No joints and the t+e may need rcd protection depending on the route. Swa back to the board it a better solution and will cost minimally more due to the short length of the cable

    Does anyone know anything about Cranford Controls?

    This is all very strange. Are you fishing for comments and opinions on them because you work for them?

    Planning garage sub-main project

    Skip the twin and earth in conduit and run swa straight to board. What is the purpose of the t+e? Looks like part of that board isn’t rcd protected, get an mcb to fit it

    Planning garage sub-main project

    Your swa cable does not need rcd protection. Personally I would have it on an mcb and either small board with rcbcos or rcd in garage.

    Planning garage sub-main project

    What do you mean mains switch in db? You could just add a 40a mcb to your existing db if using swa and fit a small board in the garage, with rcd protection of course
