So...
Currently have a mixture of 400w halide floods and old 1000w halogens (1000w halogens on shorter columns)
These are supposed to be lighting up a large car park, all controlled by photocell, on all night every night, customer wants to replace with a lot more energy efficient lighting and...
Hi, i have always used wickes security flood lights. They are cheep and have until recently been easy to adjust and reliable.
But on my last job its just crap. The flood lights mounted at about 2m on a brick wall, it only picks up 4M range and needs to be about 10-12M. The packaging states 14M...
So the Ms keeps pestering me to get around to fitting a light out the back so she can see our rather small garden and what the dogs up to :p
Anywho ime thinking of fitting a LED floodlight for the purpose.
Can anyone recommend a decent one?
Preferably in white.
Cheers.
I have to go to a house where a spot of indoor rain has occured and check out the electrics in the affected area as part of the repair works specified by the insurer. Naturally they are asking for a written report to confirm all is ok or what is required to make all ok.
I have done this a fair...
Just a bit more from this job I've been going on about at the stables..
The chap has 10-15 meters of flex plugged in (just below Consumer unit) taking power to each individual flood. What sort of length of flex is acceptable? I'm going to be changing it all so they are on seperate MCB's in CU...
Hi everyone,
This is my first post on here and first fault working on my own since I left college last july. I swapped over a Fitting the customer had bought from BnQ a Quanta sensor Flood light which the customer wants to over ride on occasion at a switch in here kitchen. The fitting works...
Hi,
I have an external floodlight without a switch on the inside. a few months back it started to come on, then go off for like 3 seconds, then come back on again, then off, then on. i changed the unit and the new one was fine. then the same started to happen again with the new one. surely i...
Good evening
Can you use a standard 180,270,360 deg. Etc sensor with led flood lights?
These are the ones that replace the old style halogen with the r7s bulbs
Cheers
Good Morning All,
I will start by stating that the property concerned is a restaurant where I have now isolated the original electrical systems because of water ingress.
Being from Yorkshire we have been hit by flooding yet again recently and I have been asked to perform an EICR on a flooded...
I have customer with two of the subject lights fitted. One comes on when dark but stays on ewven when gets light. The other comes on when dark then turns back off.
Any ideas what i should be looking at to correct the faults. short of fitting new lights ofcourse. Only three years old.
I have a floodlight with timer in the garden. I have been told that if you flick the switch on/off twice, the floodlight will stay on. But this is NOT happen. what may be wrong??
I've had a request for a job that I've not come across before and that is to go an inspect a property that has suffered flooding. The homeowner has told me that the electrics have been turned off and that she needs a quote for insurance purposes. I can't say at this point what has been damaged...
Hi
I'm installing some new floodlights and have noticed that the JB on the fitting itself will not accommodate an armoured gland but has a compression bush on it suitable for flex.
The only way I see of wiring it is to run armoured to a small JB (prob 100 x 100m) and come from there with some...
THE SECOND GREAT FLOOD
“The earth has grown wicked again, I have to flood it” God told Noah. "Build another Ark and save two of all living things.”
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah crying in his yard - but no boat,
“Where’s the ark?” he asked “I’m about to start...
I need to install some lighting to throw over around a 50m horizontal distance off the side of the nearest building (about 2m high). This is mainly to create ambient light on the path that far away, as they can't afford to run armour over and install poles.
Any suggestions from anyone? My...
Has anyone used any low energy, or LED flood lights that give the same effect as a high powered halide, or sports light?Needs to light up front of church, in below photo.
Ive got a flood that is high up on the house and want to put a pir down low for good pick up and keep the light where it is, what is the best way to wire it as it already has the cable at the light.
cheers :)
Hi, a bit of advise needed I think. Following the theft of a bike from my garden this week I am hoping to upgrade the old outdoor bulkhead light by my back door with a PIR controlled floodlight. I'd like to use the existing wiring to feed it and fit a separate PIR which is linked to a new flood...
Hello there, I am currently in my last year at college now (C&G 2330 / 2357 ) and we have been doing bits on 'Green Energy', Solar PV in particular has definitely got my attention. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a couple of questions I have.
First of all, I know South...
