    Pendant tripping MCB

    Hi all, Have a lighting pendant switched by a pull cord in a downstairs toilet. Apparently 50% of the time it will trip the circuit. Could this be a faulty switch or even lamp? The switch and pendant are only couple months old (cheap ones tho) Thanks

    Halogen lamps in pendant drops - Compliance with BRAD L1B ?

    I saw GE Halogen lamps in use on a social housing block being refurbed - whilst they are still allowed to be sold, i don't think you can say it complies with Building Regulations as they are C rated and so hardly energy saving - 1200 lumen for 70 W is pretty poor.( <18 l/w energy efficient is...

    pendant in bathroom

    Hi all doing a job in a house and the client wants me to put a pendant in the bathroom, now the ceilings are quite high (2550) and i have some short 6" pendants so well outside of the zones. Do you think i should push the customer for a proper bathroom fitting or even use a batten holder. Thanks

    Class II outside pendant.

    Can anyone tell me where I can get hold of an outside pendant (coaching lantern style) in plastic or polycarbonate? I can find wall-mounted versions but the customer wants to replace his existing (metal) one without paying to run a cpc to it. Thanks.
