    Hi, I have a downstairs toilet with two spotlights. I have recently replaced the MR16s with two GU10 LEDs. This has meant that my PIR makes the lights flash repeatedly. I have another PIR in the utility which has 6 spotlights on (all GU10 LEDs) and this one works fine. I have tried swapping...

    flickering lights/ burning wire smell

So I stopped the dishwasher but the lights continued to flicker for a while. I've narrowed the flickering down to the...

    Quinetic & flood lights

    Afternoon all I’ve just hooked up a couple of quinetic switches (one being the in line built-in receiver, QURS1W) to a (Vtac) 50w LED floodlight and part of the array remains dimly lit when it is switched off. Now it more than meets the minimum wattage (5w) so i’m assuming it’s a simple...

    Instrument cluster lights not working

    My 2003 Toyota Echo has two back lights in the instrument cluster. One of the lights would flicker if I hit a bump or something. I swapped the lights, meaning I put the bad light in the good light's place and vice versa, to help determine if it was an issue with the bulb or something else. The...

    UK Correct lights to go into MDF shelving?

    Hey guys! I'm a bit curious the correct lighting to fit recessed in some MDF shelving. I've fitted normal spotlights before with relative ease, although I'm cautious as I will only have a 6cm gap and obviously the material is combustible. Anyone recommend anything? Cheers :)

    Emergency Lights are starting to really annoy me

    A slight rant. Having just finished a spate of commercial EICRs I really can't understand why we tolerate these wretched things: 1 - I now expect there not to be a continuous CPC on emergency lighting circuits. The odds of someone losing the fight with the spring-loaded twin-terminal and...
