    Certifying existing works

    That's what I would advise, then maybe the client won't cheapskate next time...Assuming that's what they did. Have come across tons of work completed by builders and not signed off...Kitchens mostly. 9/10 you open up one socket find that there's no grommets or sleeving on the CPC and straight...

    Deleted certificate

    Why does anyone use the NICEIC software anyway? Surely you would produce enough certificates that easy cert or the like is better value for money? Doesn't the NICEIC charge £1.50 per cert or something?

    Change of premises

    You don't have to cover the cost of travel to and from work really. We work on JIB rules which I believe is only paying some allowance after 10 or 15 miles straight line distance from the office address. Straight line distance being a pretty long way really.

    It's just all low quality Chinese ----. We've worked along the lines of if we find a great product with great UK support then we will only fit that product. Plus if you can deal with the manufacturer directly then even better - Dehn for example.

    NAPIT Certification Scheme NAPIT OR NIC

    Even Householders recognise NICEIC. Some ask for it, not too many, but it does happen. I registered with Napit some 10 years ago but changed to NICEIC a year later as no one recognised it. Probably a little different now. I still tell potential customers to get other quotes from another NICEIC...

    Ledhut 5 year warranty

    Had a number of faulty items from ledhut over the last 3 years. They have always replaced without quibble but it can be a little difficult to get them to process the replacement at times..At least by email anyway.

    Apollo have been working on a flush mounted detector for some time but who knows when it will be here and what the cost will be...It's for a part 1 system anyway.

    What LED failure rate is acceptable?

    Never had a failure on a Click integrated downlight yet.

    What LED failure rate is acceptable?

    If the integrated lights are halers then TLC have had massive amounts of returns on them. In some cases 100%. The LED lamps they sell are made by ledlite and some batches have been pretty poor, whilst overs are very good. Pot luck really

    Garden Lighting

    Stick extra low voltage lighting in, putting the drivers where the feeds start. Will solve your tripping issue and you can bury the elv stuff at any depth you like.
