I didn't know if this should be in here (as after advice) or in the lighting section - apologises if it's in the wrong area.
I was looking at the wiring last night in my mates loft, as he's currently got low voltage downlights installed, but he's thinking of replacing them for 240v - largely as...
I have a 2008 VW Passat Tdi which has been no issues to me during the last six years, of late I have had a few what i believe erroneous fault codes, parking brake issue (The known parking brake issue has already been dealt with) and more recently a DSG fault code. I say they may be erroneous as...
Hi there.
I am looking for a lighting track system to install on a Dutch barge I am renovating.
Must be low voltage. The electrics on the boat will run directly from deep cycle leisure batteries.
Size is paramount, ideally track itself will be no more than 15mm wide, as I'd like to hide it...
Hello - I am,as you will notice new here. I hope that I can get some definitive answers that are clearer than I get on-line and talking to 'those who talk the talk but know little'!
I have given up on trying to correlate teenage girls and their complete lack of understanding why light switches...
Hello, ive just been to look at a job with a light not working, after checking found voltage between live and neutral is 170v, between live and earth is 230v, is it just a case of a neutral issue, eg, loose connection, water ingress any suggestions would be great, cheers
Anyone point me in the direction of a decent brand of transformer that will be fed from a dimmer switch? What exact type do I need? Have heard of some transformers packin' in after weeks.

We are looking for high voltage transformers and large switch gear
We can pay good prices for equipment as we refurbish the gear
Have any of the above please send me a message
Thanks
Hi all I was called to a job this morning where the 3 phase supply was showing low voltage on two phases? The voltages where L1-245v
L2-110v
L3-135v
could anybody give any possible reasons why this was the case? I have handed it over to...
I have a customer who has in excess of 25 low voltage down lights that are on 24/7. They have a condition where they can't tolerate LEDs or CFL lamps and GU10's aren't bright enough. Does anyone know of a make of bulb that runs cooler than most as I am changed lamp holders every 6-8 mths. I've...
Hi all just looking for a few ideas from you all.
Just received a funny call from a plumber saying that he has a problem with the electrics on a clients boiler system. He explains that he only has 12v at the control center where he should be expecting 240v. I told him to chase back the circuit...
Have come across a low voltage transformer which has been placed in the ceiling above a shower not accessible at all which means the customer cannot change the time period on the overrun. I can't find anything in the regs that says the transformer needs to be accessible. Anyone have any thoughts...
Just wondered if it's a no no to run 2 low voltage lights from one FCU
I have wired up sockets and lights to my decking outdoor accessories of course.
From my sockets I have spured of to a RCD FCU from this I have my decking spotlights.
So my question is can I run some LED strip lights to...
Have just replaced my low voltage thermostat with NEST version.
Have moved the new thermostat by extending wiring with connection box (wiring is low voltage).
Is it safe to plaster directly over the connection box and wiring??
Cheers.
Hi guys I've been doing a partial rewire. And I have taken a feed from a light that is fed, to feed a switch in a new extension. I wired up the lights and switch in the new extension but the light would not turn on. I measured the voltage at the light that's not powering up L-N and I'm only...
Just had a new 4kw solar pv system fitted, with two arrays of 7 panels, one above the other in the same direction.
I flicked through the statistics and noticed that the first array was only producing 1w, when the 2nd array was producing around 900w. So I checked voltage and found that was on...
One of theses PIRs has given up the ghost on my (very old!) security lighting system. Everyone I've asked tells me there is nothing compatible in todays market, so I'm hoping someone has got an old one gathering dust somewhere.
I'll happily buy more than one if you've got any from an old...
Hi All,
Only my second posting here so apologies for any transgressions in advance. This is almost certainly a post for the DIY section but since I can't post in there, here goes.
I'm after advice about Low Voltage distribution, as in: If your charging Batteries from PV/Solar and Wind, and your...
Hi guys
Does any one have any particulars on the best cable to use for low voltage lighting.
Got a large wiring scheme to do which is all low voltage LED lighting but want to make sure I use the best graded cable so not to cause problems later.
Been told to use a 2core twisted pair to gain a...
