Hi,
I have a princess 1500w smart glass panel heater which only chucks out half the heat it should. I've checked the thermal fuse with a multimeter and it seems fine but the element has twice the resistance I think it should have and therefore only kicking out half the power. It has a high and a...
Hi, I need some advice on the wiring for a new ceiling light. I have taken down the original light, and I'm left with the wiring in the image ceiling_wiring_01.jpg. There are three cables coming off a connector block in the ceiling, each with a live and neutral and a single earth wire on its...
Hi, does anyone know where I can buy a replacement light fitting like the one in the picture? It takes a s15 bulb 284mm and the length can be no longer than 32cm x 6cm wide and 5cm depth, I was wondering if I could just buy the end caps and replace them but can't find anywhere that sells them...

We have an LED recessed light that has failed. The unit is marked GLOBO 12363 (which I'm assuming to be a model number). But I can find no reference to this in all the usual on-line places (ebay, Amazon, Globo's website)... At first I assumed this recessed fitting would simply accept a...

I'm sorry if this isn't in the right place but this is my first time using this forum.
I'm also sorry if i make some mistakes but I'm new to this kind of electricity and English isn't my native language. I bought a "new" power amplifier for my audio setup and the fan in it is very loud. I would...
I have a client who has asked me to connect up a cooker.
She has sent me a picture of the connection unit at the back and it appears the terminal is missing for number 2. I need this for the bridges otherwise the oven won’t work. She has the bridges already, see in picture
Would I have to go...
I'm planning a replacement for my existing domestic CU and would like to have it sanity checked before I get an electrician involved. The main reason for replacing the whole CU is that I would like to have an additional circuit to the attic which would be isolated from the existing one. Long...

Hey folks, i work for a relatively small company, but we are doing some big jobs. And right our headache is taking over outdoor lighting maintenance from other guys (you know that situation where the only way to know anything about light is to get up there on the pole and open it to read that...

I plugged the...

Hello,
I wish to replace the old 2 gang switch pictured, with the smart switch pictured.
Am I right in thinking that all 3 reds wires would need to go in L.
Then the lower left black wire can go in L1.
And then the pair or black wires (from the bottom right) can go in L2?
Many thanks.
Forgive me, for all my terminology is going to be wrong here. My home has an old fuse box that handles a small section of the house. They take the Bussmann T15 fuses. I've recently had a fuse blow in an unconventional way. The metal strip inside the fuse is still intact. Instead, it appears to...
Please skip to the next paragraph to skip my intro.
Sitting at a desk is not how I want to spend the rest of my life, so I've decided to become a mechanic.
