    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    Makes you wonder about these 3yr warranty’s etc , does any one take them back 3 year later , most big companies will probably not keep receipts / invoices , or even try to look for them 3year down the line , and if they did , hire cherry picker , take fitting down and wait possibly weeks for a...

    Are LED floodlights all they’re cracked up to be , are they cost effective in the long long run ??

    Replacing storage heaters with panel heaters

    We fit a lot of electric heating in temp buildings and relying on stat built into the heater just doesn’t seem accurate and we find the heater it self lasts a lot longer when an external stat is controlling all the switching , if you fit a stat central it will work like conventional heating...

    A bit of food for thought for you and customer , put time clock, thermostat and contractor in You should get a more controlled heat , also save the customer a fortune in the long run , in fact some of these modern heaters also have pir’s in them so if no one in the room it turns off or down to...

    Conditional reporting , how in depth do you go to satisfy your recommendation

    I’m taking it insulation l+n to earth you would do 100% because that would be all circuits together in one test, flood test is it called and if that’s low start testing circuits separate to find circuit that’s possibly dragging your flood test down I also think this is one of most important tests

    Conditional reporting , how in depth do you go to satisfy your recommendation

    Been sparking now 25yrs plus Did testing and inspecting 10 year ago Do a lot of new installation tests and conditional reports of our own installs once they are up for renewal , so don’t really have to put codes on any thing because it’s all usually pretty much up to current regs This thread...

    Do you need to PAT test / test fixed appliances

    Same method if ever , visual ? Replace when broken ? Times are changing, everyone , every thing must be traceable and some one made liable for Who ever compiled electricity at work regulations was/is a very clever person and compiled a almost timeless regulation covering anything electrical

    Do you need to PAT test / test fixed appliances

    Yes sure not many companies do fixed equipment testing , when it should be , something to put to your company , but with the cost implications good luck with that one

    Do you need to PAT test / test fixed appliances

    It’s a big job , to be honest we don’t do it at the minute but looks like we soon will be , the circuit / spur should be isolated at dB and locked off , rather than unscrew the spur live and disconnect the load side
