Hi all,
I'm fixing an old mirror, which has an old, broken, small strip light inside. The light shines through an opaque flower-shaped window on the front of the mirror.
What could I put back in?
We have an electric 230v cable in place for it.
Any recommendations/website links much...
Hi everyone,
I've recently done some testing on some welfare trailers used on building sites on behalf of the rental company at their base. Mixture of fixed wire/PAT/FAT to make sure they're going out to the customer OK.
I've done 8 so far and they were brought brand new 12 months ago and I've...

Thoughts please
We have often discussed the innards of a smart meter on here and what they can and can't do. this video by bigclive might be of interest to a few on here.
Its not exactly the done thing to go and poke about your own.
The bit at the start showing the contacts that detect if the covers removed...
Has anyone done this before? Its a gimmick I know but I always wanted to do it.
I can see some sound activated switches but nothing that specific to claps, unless its a DIY one. I dont see how a DIY clap switch can go into a wall.
Been asked to price up for a bathroom fan installation, nothing to out of the ordinary there, except the bathroom is on the 4th floor of a townhouse!
add the basement area below and its a tad high.
So clearly not going to use a ladder or hire a tower just for this job.
There are quite a few fans...
Hi,
Just looking for a bit of advice, we live in a semi, and the mains power runs along our neighbours wall (about half way up the house) and then goes into our consumer unit which is in the kitchen.
We have just begun building a lean to extension, which effectively means that the mains power...
My boiler is currently plugged into a double 13A socket in my utility room. I want to move this connection to an FCU and add an extra double socket. As a general rule, I try to incorporate additional sockets and FCUs into the ring rather than via spurs, but the cabling that feeds the existing...
Some professional advice greatly appreciated here for design and costing purposes - two simple questions.
Background: We've just replaced a 25 year old wooden shed - good service but sagging a little from age and too small for our needs - with a larger one from Beast Sheds Ltd. (Recommended!)...
I've just replaced a CU and about to sticker it up with the relevant notices but wondering if I can put them on the inside of the cover so that the unit looks neat and clean from the outside (it's above a TV in a living room).
BS7671 states phrases like "in a prominent position at or near the...
We've got a shot blasting booth with a steel working platform inside, bolted to this platform are 4 x LED floodlights (mounted inside a steel enclosure with tempered glass door).
They are wired up with SWA cable which is clipped to the underside of the platform.
Is there any regulations...
I appreciate this is a common situation when replacing a C/U and providng the C/U is not on display as such I have usually just added a junction box in the past to extend the circuit. Where there is sufficent space to extend a circuit inside a C/U I can't see any problem with using a wago...
OK, this should be easy for someone.
Firstly, let's assume a strong enough signal to take passive TV splitter at the bottom end of the cable from conventional aerial.
Is it reasonable then, to take an existing single TV outlet in a standard inset wall metal back box with front TV socket plate...
Hi as above i currently have a Radial from CU in cupboard that powers one socket (powers 13a heater) outside the cupboard can i (DIY) add a new socket inside the cupboard between CU and existing socket? The intention to have a socket in that cupboard to power a chest freezer

Hot tub in a garden next to a wooden summer house.
I need to add an isolator.
Ideally it would go on the side of the summer house as the CU is just inside but that puts it closer than 2M of hot tub (isolator is IP65)
The next option is inside the summer house but I'm less keen on that as the...
hi all
i have a bit of work to do for a friend at some point in the near future.
i'm a bit concerned (not looked) that the cables might be a bit short to do what is required.

just want to be prepared for the worst
e.g. as it is to be enclosed...
