    After a period of very heavy and prolonged rain my electricity trips

    In most cases after heavy rain, I've found it to be an outside light causing the problem. This could be a pir light outside of the shed, or garden lights coming from the shed etc.

    Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube

    Hi @Avo Mk8 Yes I've got one of those, the thing is I've never made a table lamp before, so I don't want to give away something that I don't feel is safe, I know shops sell table lamps without a worry, but I can't do much abut that! What I really don't like is the live prong. Everything...

    Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube

    I ordered a bayonet with a switch. To be honest I assumed (wrongly) that the prongs in the bayonet only became live when pushed down. Yet I do have an hazy image of putting my fingers into one of these when I was a kid... I'm trying to research whether I can run 12v from transformer, up the...

    Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube

    Finally put it all together and tested cables for continuity back to the 3amp plug. My daughter now wants it lol, so I'm going to have to make another one. But something I noticed when testing, is the one prong is live in the bayonet when the bulb is removed, I tested other lamps in the...

    UK Hanging a 30kg Chandelier

    Could you post another picture of where those bolts go into the concrete? I'm assuming they are going into concrete, but I can't see... It may be possible to reinforce the ceiling frame with an M10 and chain (you may need to rod either side directly next to light fitting)...

    UK Hanging a 30kg Chandelier

    When you say metal stud do you mean an RSJ (rolled steel beam) or metal stud as in trunking/ceiling grid. It's hard to say what to do without knowing what you're actually fixing it too. The fixing could be sufficient but what it's fixed to might not be. Any chance of a picture?

    Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube

    Many thanks, I will re drill the angle for the cable, debur the internal tube with a round file and add heat shrink, then search the web for some cable straddles. Thanks so much for the help/guidance! @UNG and @James ❤️

    Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube

    Hello everyone, I'm currently making a table lamp out of driftwood found on the beach. Does anybody have any ideas about the cable passing through the 10mm threaded rod regarding grommets. I'm wondering whether I should use 3/8 BSP to 15mm plumbing connection to get me into a wider diameter...

    Will The Terminologies Start Changing?

    I've noticed the younger ones are changing the terminology of things throughout the building trade, I just wondered if the same thing is happening throughout the electrical world?
