Hi
I'm looking for a lighting system which will illuminate a wall which faces onto a dimly lit corridor and has artwork on it. The length of the display is approx 7ft and the height is 4ft. I have read around at the options and would really appreciate some feedback on this before I speak to an...
I need to source a batten light fitting which sits over a range in a kitchen, in a big commercial extractor hood. Existing fitting has cooked and now failed.
For example, a 3 or 4ft fluorescent or LED batten, the main criteria is that it will survive being over lots of hot & steaming pans every...
Hi All, I hope someone can give me a bit of advice on how many LED batten lights I should install in my new workshop. I am hoping to create lighting that will give a good even spread of light that will mean I can easily see what I’m doing no matter what part of the workshop I am in. I will be...
Hi all,
this is my first post on here. I have searched the web but cant find a straight forwards answer (or an answer at all) for this question which is part of my c&g course.
- how is pvc insulation protected against high temperature in batten holder type fittings?
and also
- why do the...
I need to replace an Ashley Batten lamp Holder which has been in use over 20 years, went for MK but appear to poor quality and not much space for the wiring once the lamp holder is slotted into the base, the slightly different Ashley Hager appears to be much better, does anyone have any...
A pair of 5ft single tube fluorescent lamps in a garage which had been there for about 15 years and worked fine. They are on a single switch. They were not bright enough so replaced with two 5FT 58W HIGH FREQUENCY TWIN FLUORESCENT battens.
Easy to wire to the existing cables.
The problem I...
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone could explain to me how I would go about, and what I would need to wire a 3 pin UK mains plug to a fluorescent batten ceiling light fitting. I am putting the light on a stand and will be using it portably plugging it into mains wall sockets.
The...
I have just bought what I thought was a 'high frequency' fluorescent light for the kitchen, thats what it was advertised as.
It arrived in packaging with 'HPF' on it which is 'High Power factor' which I dont think is high frequency.
I wouldn't be too bothered but it doesn't work! The picture...
I know you need 'High Freq' for workshop use on single phase supply but can someone tell me if 'High power factor' does the same job, sorry if this sounds dumb but the place i buy from only does these 2 types and said everyone just uses the HPF as it does same job but i wanted to check.
many...
Hi all
Just done a pir on an office and the toilet is separate with a basin, but the light fitting is just a standard batten holder, should this be changed because i can't any reg's to do with just a toilet?
Hi Guys new member here. Looks like a amazing forum. You will see from my question that I'm not an electrician.
I just moved house and want to install some batten lights in the detached garage. Can I assume it would be safe to power 3 or 4, 58w 1.5m units from the wall socket in the garage?:eek...
What code would you give for a batten holder in a bath/shower room? I know that its zone dependant but I have been calling a code 2 for zone 1 and 2 even if it’s mounted on the ceiling slightly above 2,25m.
The batten holder then needs to be replaced with an IP rated fitting, this then requires...
