    Downlight ID -- advice needed !

    Oh yes. They are called integrated fittings and they are just fine until they fail. Then you go back to the maker (perhaps under warranty) and ask for a replacement. They then tell you that model is obsolete and has been replaced by a new one (often not the same spec, or look). I stopped...

    Can my step-up/down transformer be repaired?

    What did it blow? RCD, MCB, fuse? What electrical test equipment do you have?

    Bathroom refit, do I need a RCD?

    A single layer of standard Gypsum plasterboard has no specific fire-resistance. Your ceiling is probably one of the Fireline products - these are 15mm and covered with pink, not brown paper.

    Bathroom refit, do I need a RCD?

    Another thought. In a building such as yours, each flat is its own fire compartment. This means that surfaces like ceilings are specified and installed as fire barriers. Turning a fire barrier into something resembling swiss cheese to fit a few downlights need special consideration. You...

    Sockets on a lighting circuit - C3 or C2?

    Only a few years ago this was the way we did things. Surely a properly fused plug and socket isn’t a life-threatening device?!

    Sockets on a lighting circuit - C3 or C2?

    The fact is that BS7671 lists a number of items that shall be connected to a lighting circuit. Can't remember exactly the reg, somewhere around 559.6 maybe.... The items include socket-outlets to BS1363-2, FCUs and other things. So it is specifically permitted. Absolutely it carries NO...

    Kitchen Lights - adding a dimmer

    The type of dimmer will depend on the type(s) of light that you have. Some lights (eg fluorescent) cannot be dimmed.

    Name this socket brand

    The maker name is usually written on the back. Mind you, the decorator hasn’t made taking it off the wall an easy task!

    Part B and Part P Compliance

    They are wrong then. Part B says 9.1 Every joint, imperfect fit and opening for services through a fire-separating element should be sealed with fire-stopping to ensure that the fire resistance of the element is not impaired. Fire-stopping delays the spread of fire and, generally, the spread of...

    Part B and Part P Compliance

    As above. Unless the kitchen ceiling is a fire barrier (it won’t be in a normal house) then fire-rated downlights are not necessary .

    6mm to 2.5mm for sockets

    Yes. But what about lighting? You'll need another switched FCU with 5A fuse in it for lights. In the house,13A FCU will be fine, providing she doesnt have kettle plus heater! take a look at the current required to actually BLOW a 13A fuse. PS, I'm surprised that 6mm is necessary. How far...
