    TT Supply for shed

    It was a loop test off the incoming supply in the shed with earth lead of my loop tester connected to the brass nut and bolt which is bolted to the steel work. Should I be carrying out any other tests?

    70w metal hallide floodlight

    funnily enough, the fluoresecent are fine and just flicker when the pump kicks in, the metal hallides however go off, and unless you turn the power off to them,give it 5 mins to warm down and the re-energise them after,they wont come on!

    Sockets and switches outside wet room

    thanks for my 1st reply!haha exactly the point i was bringing up with the boss.but its a grey area as far as he's concerned, surely the switch wouldnt comply?because with the door open its within zone 1. but even though the bedroom itself doesnt contain a bath or shower, the potential risk is...

    Sockets and switches outside wet room

    hi. currently working on a extension, which has a bedroom and a adjecent wet room. my problem is that the the shower head and wet floor area is on your left as soon as you enter the room, and the customer wanted a switch outside the wet room to work 2 way with the bedroom lights. which means...
