    UK English rental EICRs query...

    Hi all... I have heard that mandatory EICRs in England (and Wales (?)) may be coming into force this summer. A letting agent I do a fair bit of work for posed a question just now that I didn't know the answer for.. They asked if a satisfactory EIC has been issued (say for a board change), then...

    Ring final no continuity on live ends r1

    I would say that at least 50% of the time I find such issues in the kitchen... Good luck.

    Sylvania... The brand...

    Dave: same here I have fitted a lot of the same. They disappeared for a little bit around a year or so ago but resurfaced. The first thing I noticed was how the internals all looked cheaper and nastier. I have gone back to fittings with replaceable lamps where possible now. Only exception is...

    Sylvania... The brand...

    Maybe it's a general Sylvanian thing...over-priced for what it is...! Thankfully my daughter is seemingly over her Sylvanian families yearnings.. :D

    Sylvania... The brand...

    I have always regarded them as a decent brand..no particular reason as to why though, I just have.. but had a few issues with their LED Syl-circle lights failing after around 10% usage of what they proclaimed to last. And just the other day I noticed that two LED GU10s at my place that are...

    RCBOs

    If you swapped out the main switch and and PD's inc busbar then surely the enclosure becomes a humble enclosure... Something goes wrong then manufacturers may grumble the neutral and CPC bars were wrong..type testing... Bah!! It's all money these days... Don't get me wrong the busbars should...

    Premier elite 24 little issues

    Thanks Lee. I sussed it in the end. Although had to ring tech to get me out of the anti-code reset as couldn't access eng settings at all. He thought it was due to me changing the engineer code to six digits (grade 3) and it got back in when I just put in the first four digits of the code...

    Does anyone know where i could get a led strip light set up that is powered by a force sensitive resistor/weight sensor?

    A normally-open push to make cabinet light switch recessed into the surface possibly.... https://www.lampspares.co.uk/surface-push-to-make-door-switch-black-143a-plu67526/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA6IHwBRCJARIsALNjViVRn0QydFCHmxLErjyTSSVN7zRWxQWcd98HImcDHnEDzpCrz0KWpbIaAnulEALw_wcB

    Premier elite 24 little issues

    Hi folks and wishing you all a lovely festive break.. Fitted a premier elite 24 panel recently. Few teething issues. The user manuals are atrocious and I have found other answers from YouTube and forums - namely LeeSparklyKent for saying to input the eng code twice in a row to access the...

    Discuss; Plugull - The removable plug attachment - any good?

    https://www.jmldirect.com/offers/buy-it-now/plugull-plug-removal-attachment I feel that given the longer length of the earth pin it will actually stress the plug and the socket. British plugs can be a bugger to pull at times, but I don't think this is the answer..

    What's the best socket and switch brand ..

    For plastic I use Hager and carry some square edged BG when occasionally required. Like click too. Lap get a lot of bad reviews if you look closer - quite a few say the switches stop moving after a few months. I would avoid. For metal my favourite is Schneider flat plate. BG Nexus aren't a bad...

    ADT Door Contracts - poor advice given

    They are changing to a local company as soon as they can. They got charged over £1000 for a very simple job through ADT that required two visits each less than an hour. She queried the bill but they would not budge and she ended up paying it. She really dislikes them passionately now (to put it...

    ADT Door Contracts - poor advice given

    All sorted, a spacer has been put in behind it. It was a big old magnet in there though - must have been a good 16mm thick. The plastic casing on it is also really oversized compared to 'standard' door contacts, which is what made me wonder if there was something else within it. Thanks for...

    ADT Door Contracts - poor advice given

    Thanks.. I knew it was really!! Just had this vision of ADT using some secondary wireless tamper in their kit just to be bar stewards!! Didn't want to unscrew the cover and have them charging the customer silly money... Also the mere seven millimetre gap is a bit on the harsh side..I thought...

    ADT Door Contracts - poor advice given

    Hi All, been a while since been on. Life very hectic.. Hope all are well.. Anyway.. Very regular customer tied into an exorbitant ADT contract. Last time she called them out was to A) remove magnetic door contact from door and B) return and refit contact on new door.. Cost +£1000.00 yes over a...

    Why the disparity in prices of RCBO's?

    I agree, partly mark-up but also definitely quality. I won't use BG anymore as I have had so many issues with their RCDs not meeting the x1 and x5. If you pay peanuts springs to mind. I lean towards Hager at £24 a pop, expensive but the trip times are often scarily consistent -...

    Checka trade / My builder

    Agree, websites are easily self designed with a little patience, and are cheap as chips. I got myself top on the first page of local sparks on Google using various easy-ish methods and for no cost. Keywords, reviews and links to other known websites helps in keeping the Google algorithms happy...

    Crabtree Starbreaker config.

    RCBOs it will be Tel, thanks. Don't know why that didn't enter my head! Guess I was too busy thinking about moving the main switch and the busbar configuration...

    Crabtree Starbreaker config.

    It is a TT Buzz, and quite a nicely done one too with decent Ra. No idea why the s type is where it is though!

    Crabtree Starbreaker config.

    Yeah thought it had been altered Westy. And thanks for the vid Buzz, not checked it thoroughly yet though as filling in three eics tonight...:( I am thinking the 100mA might be able to be moved to the left and act as main switch. Then have a new 30mA rccb next to it, whilst keeping the existing...
