    Socket Tester recommendations

    I’m looking to build my tools back up after a bit of bad luck. I’ve bought some screwdrivers, cutters etc. I’m just making a list of what I had. I’m just after a socket tester. I’ve seen Fluke now have one that looks very good. I did have just the basic Kewtech.

    Class 2 bathroom down light recommendations?

    For the bathroom, want them matching and one needs to go over the shower. Also need to be ok with insulation over the top. Ideally fit in the holes already there and don’t need the plastic huts. Taken the old ones out and one wire has an earth but the rest don’t, so looking for class 2...

    REGULATORY BODY recommendations

    Hi, I had been with Elecsa for years as a Part P installer/tester. Then they were taken over by the NICEIC. I'm embarrassed to say that I hate them. Elecsa were great, they were great on the phone, the assessors were patient and polite and pleasant. I do not find the NICEIC to be any of those...

    Smart dimmer module recommendations please

    Please can anyone recommend a smart dimmer module for use with Aurora LED GU10s that remembers the dim setting on loss of power so that the lights don't come back on full brightness (or, even worse, remain off) when power is restored? Ideally Wi-Fi controlled. There isn't sufficient space in the...

    High ratio heatshrink recommendations

    Generally speaking CLEAR heat-shrink tends to be a 2:1 or 3:1 shrunk size ratio, 4:1 is around but less common... has anyone ever found a source for 5:1 / 6+ ? RS list one that's a 6:1 but it's too narrow to start with (only 9mm). Cablecraft only go up to 4:1, too. Normally we make our own...

    Tin Snip Recommendations

    I’m looking to buy a decent set of Tin Snips, mainly for cutting ceiling grid. Rather than drilling it when fitting cables etc for CCTV. I’ve heard that Gilbow are Old School but that they are really good. But I’m also interested in other recommendations. Thanks
