My electrician suggested that the chock block screws were too loose & caused the smouldering. He has replaced all the wires & in doing...

    Kitchen ceiling lights fire rating

    greetings :) Was curious about the ceiling lights in the kitchen if they were fire rated or not. Google was no help with model info. There’s an F in a triangle symbol on the side, but I don’t know if that means anything. Any ideas? Thanks, Gary

    Hi all, putting a hole through a wall soon for some data. Thing is, there's a chance there'll be more data to go through in the future (could be years away though). I wanted to put a big hole through the wall but then thought it's pointless as I'd need to fire seal it anyway. Anyone got a...
