    Height of Zone 1 2.5m above the shower tray or 2.25m off the floor?

    When looking for the height of Zone 1 above a shower, we typically look at the diagrams which show 2.25m above floor level, with no Zone 2 above (although some variants of the zone diagram on various websites do show a zone 2 above a shower). The text however (under 702.32), says Zone 1 is...

    Would it be acceptable to use Wago 224 connectors to join a cable that powers an underfloor heating mat that has been damaged? The mat is powered via a thermostat that is connected to a fused connection unit fitted with a 13 amp fuse. The wire feeding the mat is 1.0mm2. I see Wago call the...

    Hey guys, I seem to have come to the right place! I just got a tall floor lamp second hand. It has a main light and an adjustable second. They're both dimmable. The second light works, which is just a 50w capsule bulb. The main light, however, seems more complicated. Anyone got any ideas...
