Every time the customer asks for other electrical work they report that a few bulbs have gone dim and I replaced them. Today, more work but 7 more bulbs need changing...

    Went to a job today and noticed a length of metal conduit going across a pathway. The metal conduit is not earthed.

    I just wondered what people’s thoughts were as to weather it should be earthed being an extraneous conductive part? It’s fixed to the concrete floor and if there was a break down in insulation there could be a potential difference. If you do bond it could it be introducing a risk? 1598092922...

    Do the cables for my outside lights need to be insulated before going under my patio slabs?

    Currently my builder is placing the cables straight under the slabs between the hard-core and cement. Should he be doing this or do they need to be insulated?
