Hello --- In the planning stages for a new custom home build -- The house will be several hundred feet from the road and I want to have the power underground --- I am wondering if I should inquire about having a pad mount transformer in close proximity to the Power Pole Source rather than a pole...
Ive bought a atf600 wall mount with transformer attached. Details on transformer are input 230v output 4.2v 600ma. Question is I have a unused fused spur where I want to put this could I connect it to the fused spur if so what fuse would I put in the spur.
Many thanks
I have a light fixture that is intended to be flush mounted to a ceiling box. I would like to hang it from a chain so it is 2 feet down from the ceiling. Here's a photo of the fixture mounting plate and wires. (USA mainland, ETL/UL standards). Is there a correct way to do this, such as a...
Hello,
Looking for guidance on a flush mount light replace. The current setup is I have two light switches on the opposite end of the wall. The two switches control two lights. I replaced one of the lights and when I turned the breaker on the lights come on, but the switches are off. If I...
Hi All,
I currently have two 490w JA Solar panels fixed mounted to my external garage roof, I want to try and add a single axis mount somehow, without a pole, so I can use a sun tracker to tilt the panels throughout the day, anybody done, tried, have any ideas of how this can be done.
Cheers

Hey everyone, how's it going?
I built myself a practice wall in my garage so that I can get more training in at the weekends from stuff I do in tech and on site.
The difficultly is drilling holes in the boxes and getting them centered and uniform.
Here is a link showing the drawing I've been...
anyone know of a white surface mount 2 gang box with side entries ?
20mm round conduit radial around garden office, plenty of top entry ones about but cant find any side entry ones
cheers
Am I behind the times here? I’m being urged to mount a whole host of boards, iso’s, meters etc onto unistrut for no good reason (there’s perfectly good wall available and frankly it’ll look awful) because apparently it’s a current trend to do so?? Anyone come across this lately?
I've planned a 20A circuit serving a tiny half-bath in a workshop. The circuit will contain a few LED ceiling lights, a receptacle (not for tools) and a 350 or 400W 120V baseboard heater. So it would not be convenient to shut off the heater via the main panel. When I'm not working during the...
Hi All,
Just looking at replacing my current floodlight I installed via a fused 3 Pin plug into a 2 gang socket coming straight off of the breaker box with a Ring Floodlight, where the wire is coming out the brick work is to low and I want to put it into a Junction box and feed it in from below...
About to replace my consumer unit. Current one is screwed directly to plastered wall. The replacement unit is in roughly the same location but I need to move it away from the wall slightly so the top clears an exposed wooden joist. I’m looking to fix it to one inch thick section of MDF fixed to...
Hi
I am installing a Pyronix Euro 46 V10 Hybrid Alarm Panel. I want to use wired ceiling pir detectors with it. Pyronix do a flush mounted one, however I am looking for a recessed ceiling pir detector to install. Does anyone know of any I can use.
Thanks
Dave
hi all, was wondering if anyone has used a corner mount floodlight so i can light up 2 areas opposite from each other from the same pir, i know you can install it all separate from each other but want to know if there is a all in one fitting for this, i have saw lights that may work but the are...
Forgive me if this is a dumb idiot question, but I'm not a sparky and I have a need to know.
My wife and I are in a 15th Century cottage and most of the electrics is the original wiring from when electricity came to the village in the early '50s - lead covered stuff for the most part. We had a...
I have an outdoor CCTV camera that requires 12v DC to be supplied to it. To keep things neat, I've thought about mounting a DC power jack onto a blanking plate on the inside wall that the socket end of a 12v DC power supply can then plug into.
Is the above a good idea, or are there better ways...
Hi gents,
I am after a bit of advice on sourcing a 24volt 70watt DC power supply for a public accessible defibrillator.
Do you think either of these would be suitable;

I've not used LED panels before, but thinking of suggesting them for a ladies changing room refurbishment in a golf club, so appearance is important. The room is about 4.5m x 9.5m. Ceiling height is about 2.4m at a guess. The existing lighting is by three LED round ceiling bulkheads, plus LED...
Anyone got any other solutions for getting from a surface mount socket to surface mount conduit (plastic)
I often have to add a radial spur from a ring main socket.
Assuming I need to retain the double gang 13A outlet I either:
Add a single gang back box next to the double socket.
Stick a Fuse...
Any of you lot going to Oliver's Mount at the weekend for the road racing, or at least watching it on the TV? I'm sure I read somewhere it was on Eurosport, but we're heading down first thing in the morning. It'll be my third year there on the trot, really enjoy Oliver's Mount and seems to be...
