    House rewire - Certfied Work

    So I asked the electrician and he said he is registered and the way it works is that he logs onto the NICEIC website and uploads the data, who then share it with LBC. Also as I am going for a rewire he said the new regs are that any rewire now requries a new consumer unit. Is this correct...

    Cool White or Warm White LEDs?

    If I go with cool white 4000k and I find them too bright can I swap some of the bulbs at a later date for 3000k or must I have to swap all the bulbs at the same time or are these downlight bulbs even replaceable?

    Where to put sockets?

    Yes that's what I will be doing - sockets in a box? fixed to the side of the cupboard (not the back) because the side is 18mm and the backs is 8mm. The socket will be vertical with a small hole in the back of the cupboard to pass through the plug. With additional grid switch.

    Where to put sockets?

    Howdens deepest worktop is 620mm. As a know nothing consumer. Wouldn't the grid switches just be extra way to turn off the appliances?
