    This months PE, page 38 is a full page advert for a new guide they have produced – “Guide to Consumer Units” So they write RUBBISH regs, that most of us think are knee jerk, and them they expect us to pay out more money on a new Guide they have written. They should be giving them to people who...

    LED Strip in back of van

    Had some LED strip (tape) left over from a recent job so thought I'd put it in the back of the van as the lighting in there is frankly awful. Connected it up to the lamp terminals so it would work when the doors open and on permanently with the switch as per the original lighting. All works...

    Convert light-operated extractor fan to separate switch

    Hi, I am a general handyman, and I have a customer with a basic ceiling extractor fan in their bathroom. It is connected to the ceiling light and comes on and off with the light switch. They now want the option of switching it off (while the light is on). Is there a way I can incorporate a pull...

    Odd circuit...

    Went to have a brief look at a job on Saturday. Gentlemen had a new consumer unit fitted about 5 years ago. The installer that did this found a fault on a circuit consisting of 2 sockets.

    SELV for Future Lighting Circuits ?

    A tutor went off on a tangent today and said that he wouldn't be surprised if in the future all lighting circuits in an electrical installation will be extra low voltage. (Connected to a transformer that'll maybe fit on the DIN rail of a CU?) I was just wondering what everyones opinion is...

    C2 for no bathroom fan local isolation switch ?

    How can this be justified as far as I am concerned it would be a C3 at the most or no code as the MCB can be deemed for isolation (it's fed from the local lighting circuit). Surely C2 potentially dangerous - urgent remedial action required is a bit over the top, thoughts please !!!!!!
