I've got 4 different sets of fixtures between our dining room and kitchen: 1 set of can lights + 1 set of pendants in EACH room. I'd like each fixture group to have it's own dimmer switch, all in the same switch box.
The source power comes in directly between the rooms with 12/3 nm cable (the...
Yesterday's EICR. The cut out and meter are in a damp cellar, and are fixed to a chipboard board on the wall. The chipboard has slowly rotted over the years, you now can push a pencil through it in places. The rather rusty fixings have pulled through it, so the board and everything fixed to...

Need a 6a RCBO for a lighting circuit otherwise it’s a 18 circuit board change!

I have a square D panel(QOC16UF) with a 20 amp breaker(plus others). This breaker is too small to handle the various outlets and light fixtures in the small kitchen and living room. I purchased a 30 amp breaker and wonder if I can unscrew the front panel from the wall, turn off the main breaker...
