    Wardrobe door sensor & LED lights

    Next week I'm starting to build a few built-in wardrobes for the bedrooms and I've hit a brick wall on the lightning element. Normally I run 1.5mm 2-core from a junction box to the different LED strip light locations, and then from the junction box to the LED driver and from there to a...

    First fix bedroom lighting - locations

    I hear you but my experience with (multiple) electricians has not been a sure fire way to success unfortunately. The walls are down, I've got wiring routes planned, I know sensible locations for downlights et Al. I'm simply trying to ascertain if there is a best practice for location for first...

    First fix bedroom lighting - locations

    Hello Finally getting round to add more light circuits to the bedrooms beyond the existing one pendant. Most of it fairly easy, but 2 things are not 100% on: 1) wardrobe lights: where do you normally clip the wire for it to protrude from the plaster i.e. anywhere behind the future wardrobe...

    Multiple dimmable switches and circuits connected

    Right had good dialogue with Varilight on this. It seems not possible in the format I want because LED tape requires TRIAC Leading edge dimmers and LED downlights require Trailing edge i.e. no easy fix to have them combined to same switch. No big deal, have decided to just make the main room...

    Multiple dimmable switches and circuits connected

    One more to add... 3) the 2x bedside switches will be 3-gang modular dimmers with 1x 1-way for the bedside light and 2x 3-way for the other 2 circuits and other 2 switches. Basically at the intermediate switch for example I will have 6 wires (4x straps consisting of 1mm T+E as well as the 1x...

    Multiple dimmable switches and circuits connected

    Getting around to bedroom lighting, what I would like to achieve is: Circuit 1: pendant light (centre of main ceiling) Circuit 2: LED tape and LED downlights (in dropped ceiling with tape in coving and downlights in the dropped ceiling) Circuit 3: bedside light left Circuit 4: bedside light...

    Made me jump!

    Yup. I just can't get the logic. Who would do that and thinks it is the best place.

    Made me jump!

    Been a while since I've been able to add to this thread (thankfully). Ripping out a partition in a downstairs toilet and reminded why I like to do it myself... Slowly Was not expecting the inside of the door frame to be used as a route, nor for the partition frame to be butchered for access...

    Continuous earth fault

    About 40 mins away so probably doable!?

    Continuous earth fault

    Just outside Hebden Bridge. Could also do with CU upgrade (to Hager with 30A RCBOs) at the same time

    Continuous earth fault

    Unfortunately even putting the wires that were taped together into a junction box didn't solve the issue. Given I've mapped the entire circuit, changed all sockets, checked all junction boxes, the earth issue must lie at the CU. I am comfortable with most domestic electrics but won't touch a...

    Continuous earth fault

    Completed mapping of entire circuit. Changed all sockets, a few had loose connections but broadly everything was where it should be. Socket tester still showing earth fault. Have identified one shocker of a connection below, hoping it this causing the fault. Failing that, will have to check CU...
