Hello everyone
Need a bit of advise I have been asked to install a bath in a room that was previously a wet room for a disabled person. Now as per usual the customers don't want to spend a lot of money.
At the moment there is an electric shower installed at a height of approximately 750mm to...

My electrician says he can't sign off the installation in my new loft conversion because the 240V extractor fan is in zone 1 (directly above the shower), and hence violates the Regs. He says the easiest option is to replace it with a 12V one, and locate the transformer remotely.
Disappointed, I...

Just picked up a timed fan and 3 pole switch. Fan is 4" 20 watt. I was going to run 3 core and earth from 3 plate light via 3 pole switch and to fan as per normal.
Just read manufacturers instructions and it says must be a double pole fused (3 amp) spur. Can't see the logic to that.

Went to change mcbs to rcbo's in a wylex board that's used for total control heating. Then I hit a problem as some off the rcbo's don't fit as the neutral bar is in the way! Instead of the main neutral feed to the bar being cable it was one of those copper pre made ones so can't move it up...
Hi
Hopefully somebody out there can help with a small problem we have with some car park lighting. After looking at the Board, they seem to be controlled by a timer control uint marked 'Square D CPT 2' there are two of these as well as Square D units CLS110 and CCN225. The CPT2 unit is...

Folks,
Need to install a 1G2W dimmer switch for someone next week. They have 9 x 12v transformer lights on 20w and 50w halogens.
So.....is this a 500W LV dimmer? Does it really need to be LV?
