So I've got incoming mains splitting (forking) off into 3 light fittings. They are HID metal halide lamps. The middle one (thats not working) is 70W, and the other 2 are 150W. I've replaced the control gear and bulb. It still just flickers blue and doesnt actaully start. It also buzzes at the...
Hi, I have a 1st floor duplex flat and upstairs in the boiler room is an Electric Fusion Boiler with hot water cylinder tank. The hot water tank is working fine for the water but the boiler / central heating system which is a bit of a beast, (installed in 2006 image attached), is now faulty...
I've got hold of a Fluke C1600 carry case for my testing gubbins but it appears to be missing the tray insert that should come with it, any ideas where one can get a replacement?
Our building has a lift where one of the lights burned out and our building management got a £479 quote from a lift management company for fitting a led replacement.#
I took a look at the light bulb and found it's a CFL Philips Master PL-C 18W/830/4P one, available for £3.80. I bought one...
Hi, I've "inherited" a light fitting which I believe used to work okay but then stopped. I've tried swapping the "bulb" (it's not a bulb!) but it's still not working. I'm unfamiliar with the fitting so I'm concerned if I've bought the wrong sort of bulb, which I tried to match with the old one...
I recently had the motor on my Delta dust collector stop working. It was setting off the breaker on the side of motor after just a few seconds of turning on. After researching I discovered the problem with this motor is commonly the run capacitor. When I opened the cover to the capacitor I...
I have in LED light which has stopped working. It's well-travelled, made in China, bought in Azerbaijan and installed in the UK.
I assume the problem is with the LED driver, picture included. Made by Guo Xin, model GX-F36x1W for which an internet search reveals...nothing!
So how do I find a...

I have 16 245w (declared capacity 3.84kW) panels on a south facing unshaded roof on the south coast of England producing around 4200 kW-h a year for the last 7.5 years; I have had two inverters fail in that time, the first replaced under warranty (both Mastervolt SunMaster). I have no schematic...
Probably a silly question but is there a plug in option for 4 pin 2D emergency/maintained bulkhead using the existing control gear and batteries, if I plug in a 2d 4 pin LED bulb what will happen??:)

Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I managed to smash to smithereens the transparent plastic access door/cover on my sector consumer unit, that's at the top of my stairs. I need to get a new door/cover to replace it.
I know all C/U's now are metal, but I was wondering if anyone has an old one, or...
Hi,
My current oven is a whirlpool 2.3kw hardwired to a 13amp switched spur.
The oven I’m thinking of buying is 13amp and requires a 2.1kw connection.
Can I use the cable from the existing oven and connect it to the new oven?
If so, is it legal to do it myself?
Thanks in advance!

Many thanks
Any suggestions as to a good looking (in a modern building) retrofit for a double flourescent light fitting, the current lights are similar to a Knightsbridge 2 as below. Have converted some of the below to LED which I think is the most cost effective solution but interested if anyone has...

Hi All, new member here.
I have a Wilo Gold RS50 pump fitted to a solar thermal system. I suspect the capacitor is faulty and wish to replace it. However, I cannot see the method to disconnect one of the capacitor leads (sited between the L & N connections). It is very tight and I don't want to...
Good afternoon all
I have a friend whose flat has a Memera 3 consumer board, which has the push-button test MCBs.
One of them does not trip when when the button is pressed, so obviously I wish to replace this for her.
However, it seems to be difficult to get hold of these now. I wonder if...
