Hi Forum people. First time post here.
I have a pair of semi flush fittings that are currently 10 Halogen capsules per fitting. I want to convert these to LED at 2 watts per capsule. Space is a very limiting factor. Each fitting currently has a round transformer inside. I only have an 80mm...
Hello everyone!
I am curious to know if we need a new Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) after installing an electric vehicle charger at our property. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this? Any advice would be appreciated. The most recent EICR was only issued in...
Hi all, this is driving me mental, if I have a Ca of 1.03 (25degrees ambient) & a In of 6A or any number you like then Iz will never come out greater than In unless I add another grouping factor just to make it work, which shouldn’t be necessary.
There has to be an explanation to this but I...
Hello. I have a quick question for registered sparks on here.
Can/ will / do you certify notifiable work done by others?
I guess I’d have to pay LABC some fee (I’m waiting for a response from them) or is that part of the certification process you do? I appreciate I’d also need to get hold of...

Evening all,
For being on call out of hours what is the standard if any retainer fee, the place I work offer a higher rate when called out but what is a fair amount to ask for simply being on call? We can get called out at any hour and on the weekends
Cheers for any responses
Hi,
I’m an adult learner, just completed my level 2 and 18th edition. How do you get into the trade? Every mate/improver job I see you need experience, own tools etc. It feels like no one is willing to give you a chance or even respond to you.
I signed up to trades collage a few days ago and have found from this thread it is a scam. I signed something and I’m guessing it was a credit agreement. It’s not been 14 days yet so I’m still in the cooling period. Can someone please tell me how to get out of this. Any help will be appreciated!
I need one of these today, anyone know who has stock?

We have a tribune water cyclinder powered by an old version of the horstmann electronic 7.
We haven’t had hot water for a day or so now and wondering what I can do?
There are 2 electrical inputs to the cyclinder and the lights on the socket are usually off. I pressed boost and I saw one of...
So I have a replacement underfloor heating actuator that needs fitting and wiring up. I am told (by the supplier) that a homeowner can fit this by wiring the cable in to the appropriate terminals in the junction box. It's a replacement, so I can easily trace the wires back to where the existing...
My solar panels and battey system were installed and MCS certified back in 2016. unfortunately the installers went bust not long after the install and I never got some of the paperwork. This didnt matter as at the time i didnt qualify for the FIT anyway and as long as it was registered with LABC...

We have this Swiss-made Dixi horizontal borer from 1957, very nice machine still with its original DC variable voltage drive. In those days there were no VFDs, variable speed machine drives all used DC motors or Schrage AC motors, with the best DC units capable of better performance than VFDs at...
I HAVE MY LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION, 18TH EDITION, WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO BE ASAN CERTIFIED DOMESTIC ELECTRICIAN ? PART P? AND TESTING AND INSPECTION?
Hello hope someone can help.
I’ve read a few posts on the forum of people in similar situations as myself but never given me the answers I was looking for.
Currently trying to get into the trade but as is my age it’s a little difficult to find any sort of paid experience. I have a little...
Sat contemplating life as normal and started thinking about this.
Anyone can do the 18th and the testing and inspection qualifications.
So is it not theoretically possible to do those and simply specialise in testing and inspection? I mean why go through installation courses etc if you can...
Hi all.
I’m working for a builder and he uses a website called wackwholesalers.
You collect 1 point for every pound you spend.
These points you can then spend prizes such as tools or electrical items.
Anyone know if any electrical wholesalers that do this ?
