    Flush mounted enclosure for ring transformer

    Had a quote today at a new build where they've not bothered to put any facility for a doorbell. Customer has purchased a Ring Wireless Pro, which comes with it's own 24VAC DIN rail mounted transformer. Given the location of the CU, it is not the simplest path for a cable run, so looking at...

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and working on a van conversion - I also dabble in guitar pedals! I have a wall mounted LED controller hooked up to my down-lights. I'd like to be able to turn the circuit on/off at another location in the vehicle (i.e. to make a 2 way circuit). Is it possible to add...

    Looking for options for low profile surface mounted lights for a solid soffet over garage

    Currently struggling a bit to find suitable lights to fit above a garage door on the soffit. The soffit has a solid joist/beam directly above it so recessed lighting isn't an option, but the customer doesn't want anything too high profile - just wants ambient lighting for the front of the garage...

    Light switch with wall mounted remote

    How to shut off 120v baseboard heater?

    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...
