BACKGROUND
I live in a small town where it is difficult to find ceritified electricians. In fact, electrician certification is not common for residential installations. I did find some experienced electricians but I don't think they are certified and know best practices in the installation.
I...
Need to run conduit on a wall with break out points for wall mounted down lighters along the way. But struggling to find downlighters that mount on conduit junction boxes or support conduit ingress / egress points. Most downlighters seem to cater for rear cable entry only. After some...
Hi all can anyone recommend and decent external 24v led tape please . The length is the issue I think at around 10.5 metres ish.
Supply from 1m flex (fused spurr) I think the current might be an issue with only small cable in place ( ie a1mm flex going to tape transformer ) ??? 2x 5m reels at...
Hello everyone,
First time post here. I've been tasked with wiring a garden office, but the customers would like the internal sockets and the electric heaters to be wired externally - between the SIPs panel and the external cladding - as they intend to keep the internal chipboard finish of the...
Has anyone seen any of these last more that five years?
Even then the work involved in resolving issues becomes crazy expensive.
I think these are mostly specified by architects and no sane Spark would suggest them.
Here's some I had the misfortune to be asked to "get working", yeah right...
Currently I have 4 small low voltage transformers connected to 4 circuits of low voltage yard lights. They are under my deck, and I turn then on and off using switches above the deck.
I want to consolidate those transformers into one transformer...
I need to mount a pair of repeaters/extenders/nodes external to two metal roofed buildings to get signal from the first one (which is CAT6 cabled to from source) and then out again to another outbuilding about 50m's away where it can then be converted back to RJ45 as well. Without breaking the...

Hi
I've now had a quote and just would like some opinion on this. Its not that I don't trust the proposal. Just after some thoughts.
We have an existing 2.5mm swa cable going to our outside office, the proposal is to feed of a 32amp RCBO in the consumer unit in the house (its an RCBO board)...
The site has 12 * 50W LED floodlights and they are controlled by 2-3 switches (changeover/intermediate) that operate a relay for the actual lights to keep volt drop down. As it has CCTV it would be handy to be able to operate the lights remotely as well. Had it been planned that way in any...
Hi,
I’m not an electrician so seeking advice as to whether my requests were actions correctly or if I need to arrange for additional / remedial work to be done.
During the first fix of a renovation I told the electricians working on my project that I planned to put an office / studio in the...
Quick one.
Is there anything in the regs that state safe zones for external placement of pvc conduit ? I've looked and can't see anything specific. Reason I ask is the installation I'm doing is needing me to run conduit at one brick above damp course.
We are planning to have external electrical sockets fitted in our courtyard patio area. We would like to have flush sockets installed so that they are not protruding from the wall, where people might bang their legs on them. Our electrician says that he has never come across them before and...
