    Bathroom mirror light (can I cut plug and hardwire?)

    😄 It wasn't the worst I seen over the weekend. Took the kids to Cumbria zoo whilst over there, and the toilets by the giraffes just had twin clipped to the tile groute to a speaker. And the hand dryer had about about 8 inch of twin with 3 inch of trunking on it just floating in mid air to a...

    Can you buy electric Meters

    Just have a look for plug in power monitors. Much quicker and cheaper probably

    Bathroom mirror light (can I cut plug and hardwire?)

    A cottage we rented over the weekend in Arnside (Lakes) had a plug by the door inzide the bathroom. Looked older than me, being sad I almost took a picture to post on here.

    Hardwiring a dash cam - not enough power reaching device?

    I wouldn't rule out a bad kit. Check the terminations to make sure they crimped to the wire and not the insulation. But without a multimeter or anything else, it's all guess work. Maybe pull a bulb from the rear lights and hold it across the wires and try to compare the brightness of being...

    Will The Terminologies Start Changing?

    He was being sarcastic to be fair to him. And emphasised the bushes funnily enough in the same segment

    BS7671 Section 740 ADS via OCPD Query

    Fair grounds etc I would generally assume run off of a gene. All my gene setups ran to a GIU which handles the making and breaking of the feeds to the C/U/L/DU units from multiple genes. The system had adjustable time delay RCDs in along with MCBs relevant to the output socket type, ie. 400v...

    Will The Terminologies Start Changing?

    You joke about it, but I kid you not, this came up on my course today. It was the instructor making the comment when he was talking about male and female threads on conduit.

    I want to install a cigarette lighter on a motorbike to power a 167w phone charger. Feasible?

    I assume it has a 12v battery? Just run a lighter socket with some reasonable gauge wire and an inline fuse on the positive lead to somewhere convenient

    Bathroom fitter , not an electrician

    Clipping doesn't look quite right

    Testing large amount of PIR controlled lighting

    You would have thought they'd have a switch to flick on and off to engage an override. Not on each PIR but an actual light switch

    UK Identifying live, neutral and earth in outdoor festoon lighting

    I mean the plug pins that go into the wall, not the end connector

    Those LEDs will have a bridge rectifier in them if they are 230v. If you reverse the polarity they won't turn on. And depending on how much chineseium was used in the manufacturing, they could already be cooked.

    UK Identifying live, neutral and earth in outdoor festoon lighting

    You really shouldn't plug them in to measure voltage if it's kicking out 230v. With the plug pins facing you, the bottom right pin is live and the bottom left is neutral. Tap out as before and you will know what is live and neutral at the other end using resistance again. No need to risk a...

    UK Identifying live, neutral and earth in outdoor festoon lighting

    Only reason I can think of for the 3rd wire is to keep the other lights if one goes. Like the posh Christmas lights from 20+ years ago. My own festoon lights are 230v that have a similar connector. Unless you have crocodile clips to do it hands free, I really wouldn't recommend trying to measure...

    Are you VAT registered

    Thanks for the responses. It was seeing one of Nick Bundy's videos yesterday that sparked the question. Now he has gone sole trader with no apprentice etc, he has unregistered for VAT.

    Are you VAT registered

    Thanks for that, I would consult my accountant before creating another business to make sure I stay the correct side of the tax man.

    Are you VAT registered

    Is that just to avoid additional accounting or to better price jobs?

    Are you VAT registered

    My accountant will deal with the taxes etc. My ask here is has being VAT or not VAT registered impacted your ability to get work in the domestic setting. Has the additional 20% VAT priced you out of a reasonable chunk of work?
