    Culina track lighting, anybody used it? From LEDHUT

    I recieved Culina track lighting today and don't feel it is safe to install. I have shown the manufacturers instructions with a detail from the page which seems to only refer to the track lighting. Not the light fittings that I ordered. As you can see from pics the bulb holder is floating around...

    Socket outlets with built in USB

    Not a great fan of these for the reasons mentioned in the video, but what this guy highlights regarding the earth is more than a bit worrying. The video goes on a bit but just a warning that these things are on the market!

    Do any sparks do underfloor heating?

    Just had a call to give someone a quote for dry underfloor heating which I declined as I haven't done it before and I'm sure it's within my capability to do it but I wouldn't quote for something I have no experience of. Just curious if other electricians do dry underfloor heating?

    Thoughts on twisting CPCs together.

    Just wondering on peoples thoughts on twisting CPC's together. Worked with multiple sparks over the years some do it some don't. The ones who do it argue that there is less chance of losing continuity, as even if they do become loose in the back of accessories they are still twisted together...

    Hi, So last year we bought a house and didn't go through and label the fuses. There are 15 in the box. The previous owners wanted to install an infra-sauna in the upstairs bathroom, and put in a cable but never put in the sauna. This was turned off at the fuse box, but we never paid attention...

    Freedom of speech - Should it be absolute or restricted

    Should we be allowed to say anything we want or should certain speech be restricted or regulated? Do we have a right to offend or do we have a right not to be offended? I've got my views which I'll chip in with later, but for now, as the title suggests, what are your thoughts and why?

    EICR required for Part P installations?

    Hi Everyone, I have been told that when I join a Part P scheme I have to complete an EICR form for every installation or addition to a circuit before I can do any work on the circuit.
