    Lights start off dim then flicker

    I wire my basement and I have a room where the lights come on but are dim, they eventually get to full strength. Any thoughts on why this one room would do that. It is set up with 8 canister lights in the ceiling on a regular switch. no dimmer.

    Hi I'm removing an extractor fan from our WC, as it's just a toilet and sink and we never use hot water in there anyway... The extractor is on the light circuit, but has it's own pull cord.

    Metal saddles inside trunking when only 400mm off a concrete floor?

    I'm a bit out of touch re 18th edition. Is it really necessary to fit loads of additional metal saddles inside trunking when it's only 400mm above the concrete ground floor of a sports hall? All the stuff about premature collapse makes sense, but where, in this case, if the cable going to...

    Cannot have a Spur off a spur but can use an extension lead?

    Probably a stupid question but why is it that you cannot (I think) run a spur off a spur but can connect an extension lead with loads of sockets on it? My son needs about six sockets in a new kitchen where there is only one double socket at present. How can it be done? As a matter of interest...

    Installing recessed lights off ceiling fan switch

    Electrical isn't my thing though I know just enough to get me into trouble thinking I can do it after coming up with grand ideas. When I bought my house, it was an older house with the typical cloth two wire wiring. There was one new 3 wire that had been ran to a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom...

    Does reinstallation of busbar need professional sign off?

    I'm buying a house and have received the electrical testing certificate. There were two C1's and a C2 identified, all very easy fixes even for an amateur DIYer, the problem I have is that the electrics were condemned for this reason and so the busbar was removed from the consumer unit. This also...

    Hi guys, has anyone got a fix for clipsal saturn series mech on a 2 way light staying dim when off?

    I have run new cables, segregated the SDI cable running back, so the LED will switch independently and have also installed a capacitor, since I was informed that would be a fix but it bursts light. The picture shows bottom mech with the switch on and bottom mech with the switch off. Thanks so...

    Can I use this switch button to turn an AC/DC PSU on and off?

    I would like to control a Power supply AC/DC connected to mains with an input of 230v (2.4A/115VAC; 1.2A/230VAC) and output 5v / 40A (200Watts). Can I use a switch button rated 3 A @ 250 V AC to turn it on and off? It would be one of these or something similar.
