    Recessed Fire Rated Down Lights

    Hi This maybe a daft question but I want to be 100% sure. Do fire rated recessed down lights require Insumescent covers? Or will a 200mm air gap surrounding the fitting suffice? Thanks in advance Regards Soapy

    Small IP rated cable connection...

    Need some ideas please chaps. Ground workers have damaged a 12V cable running to a light - so I need to put a joint in to it. Its 12v DC so only 2 cores to worry about. So far I've considered: Wiska Shark - the 6A version and The TubeTee IP68 inline connector Are there any others I...

    Rated people - What a Joke They are!

    I thought would try rated people as they were offering free membership, and having spent well over an hour on the phone to them I got transferred to 5 different people who frankly didn't inspire much confidence in me to deal with a simple issue (their website actually says free membership in my...

    Tiltable suitably IP rated GU10 downlight?

    Hi Have a customer who wants to put smart bulbs into tiltable downlights in his bathroom. I've not seen any GU10 tilt downlights that are suitably IP rated for a bathroom, have any of you got any suggestions? Must be a GU10 fitting as he wants to fit smart bulbs. Thanks

    IP20 in Bathroom Zone 1

    I'm hoping for a bit of advice from the experts here. Our electrician has fitted an IP20 rated downlight above the shower in our new bathroom. He says this is fine as the GU10 LED bulb is a sealed unit and therefore "won't explode." I'm not convinced that it's entirely safe as I would expect...

    LED lights from dimmer flickering. Load is below dimmers minimum rating.

    Hello. So I've learned a lot about dimmers on this last job. The customer wanted everything downstairs on dimmers and boy has it been a learning curve. I've split a lighting circuit and the customer has asked for 2 x st64 led bulbs on pendants to be put on a dimmer. The problem is they're...

    GU10 Question

    Hi, Apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask this. I had some builders in who I asked to change my old 12v MR16 with transformers to 240v GU10 LED lamps which no longer needed the transformer. I didn't think anything was wrong until I had an electrician come and take a look at a...

    Shaver Sockets

    Can't seem to find the answer to this online, on the OSG table 8.1 it divulges that only switches and sockets allowed of SELV Under Zone 2 which much have a minimum degree of IPX4 protection and shaver supply units complying with BS EN 61558-2-5 if fixed where direct spray is unlikely. Does...

    Is fuse wire DC rated?

    One of my client has on his boat an old Wylex fuse box with fuse wire, like the one in that video. It's used on his 12V DC system. I think that it's not safe, but wanted to check with yous first. As explained on this page, AC fuses which are not DC rated should not be used on DC circuits. DC...

    Bodge Job!

    Just fitted four new fire rated down lights to be faced with this, made my day..............not! So two of the six have been fitted below joists which have obviously been hacked out by the previous sparks, give me strength.

    Question about US > UK Voltage

    Hi all. I want to buy something from the States. It comes with a plug which says 110v - 220v. Will this work safely in the UK with just an adaptor for the 3 pins? I'm used to getting gear that has a switch to switch voltage but this doesn't. Many thanks

    Question about LED downlights

    I just need something clearing up as I have not done domestic wiring for a good few years now. If I fit LED down lights that have no replaceable bulbs so can’t be over loaded, do I need to fit the in intumescent hoods for lights going into the loft or just some sort of device to keep the...
