I then used a multimeter to check these results as I was expecting a potential difference of 230V between Supply side and dead side...

    I have fitted a touch control switch to a lamp, (I have done many no problem)…..However in this table lamp with a cast iron base the device does not operate when connected to the base? But when unscrewed the light turns on and 3 stage dims as it should. Any ideas welcome please.

    MR16 LEDs - less video shimmer from dimmable lamps?

    Hi - I have a room lit by two undimmed strings of six x 4.5W MR16 no-brand non dim lamps. This system originally had 50W halogen MR16s and 2 x 300W torroidal transformers. Visually this was OK, but video flicker on a webcam was terrible with the LEDs (none in daylight or with a halogen lamp)...

    UK Earthing a vintage brass lamp to the lamp base

    I have a couple of old metal/brass lamps to which adding an earthed lampholder would be tricky (either the entry for 3 wires is VERY small or the lamp holder is integral to the lamp and is original). All of these lamps have a screw within the base which appear to be for an earth wire - is this...
