    Are wall lamps considered accessories ?

    I was pondering that thoroughly fascinating topic of what defines an electrical accessory as the term is used everywhere. The best I could come up with was the below but wouldn't that imply wall lamps are not accessories as they consume current. So in turn wouldn't that mean a wall lamp does...

    Ring Video Doorbell Wired Installation Setup 3rd Party Accessories

    Hi, So I ended up with a Ring video wired doorbell instead of a Byron video wired doorbell as B&Q were out of stock (had ordered online) and they gave the Ring one at no extra cost (nice of them). Not what I was after but will have to make and do. I don't really want to fork out and buy the...

    First time post so apologies if this is already been discussed somewhere. I did do a quick look but didn't find much and the ones I did find seemed to be focused on a single bag or a different tester. So I've recently bought a Megger 1741+ and the EV adapter kit and although I'm not a fan of...
