Hey there,
I recently moved into my new home which is entirely lit by 50 watt GU10 halogen spotlights, though I am gradually purchasing LED equivalents whenever money can be spared due to the fantastic efficiency.

Due to the change in TARIFF as of 1/4/2015 to 48.84pence from 48.07pence, I see my utility co have yet again diddled me out of 81pence overall :tounge_smile: , due to how they estimate/allocate energy generated upto the crossover period (in my case 2.03.15 to 31.03.15) ...... ie March, which...

Had a call the other day to quote for some remedials following an EICR, carried out by somebody else. Customer was a bit suspicious about report, so popped over today to have a look. One bedroom bungalow, wiring approx 35 yrs old. The 'electrician' had condemned a perfectly good condition 3036...

Just had a new 4kw solar pv system fitted, with two arrays of 7 panels, one above the other in the same direction.
I flicked through the statistics and noticed that the first array was only producing 1w, when the 2nd array was producing around 900w. So I checked voltage and found that was on...

In the electrical Industry today, I think I WOULD take an short course, pay my money, and go out and earn money, not really understanding what I was doing. The age of I want it NOW, no I don't think so.!!
