I need to replace a dimmer switch which controls the recessed lighting in my basement. Qualifiers before I begin my explanation - I am a complete novice when it comes to anything electrical, and the house (purchased by me) was built by the owner himself in 1995.
Last week I attempted to turn...
Hey everyone,
My flat has all electric panel heating and uses a Dimplex PW4 programmer that has died. It's also discontinued, i can see why as you need to be a rocket scientist to set it anyway.
As this is just a switched live switch am i right in assuming it could simply be replaced...
Hello, my vanity fixture LED driver needs to be replaced. It's constant current with output 25-38.5vdc 600mA max 45v no load. I can't find exactly the same driver. The driver with 24-36vdc 600mA resulted in flicking. I'm thinking about going down to 450mA with 21-43Vdc. Will this work?
Thank you
Hi,
I'm living in the UK and over the weekend I've been replacing downlights in my sunroom with LED's. When I went to replace the switch with a dimmer I noticed the switch is an intermediate, although I'm not able to locate the other switches. After searching the house I can only find the one...
Having to replace all the fixings in an empty flat for a landlord next week, and they also want the intercom changing - apparently the dirty brown colour is no longer in fashion.....
This is the existing unit and wiring - a Bticino with 5 wires and appears to be ELV AC, but I have very little...
I rent out a flat in a small west London block built in 1990s. 2 storage heaters installed around 2005 now have stuck or broken switches so I'm looking for advice about replacement. One has both night and a daytime part, but the other seems to be only wired to the night meter with no other power...
I’m looking to swap out these switches and I’m not sure what I need. They turn on/off a bathroom light, fan and heater in the ceiling. I’m a beginner so please explain. See pics. Thank you!
I can't figure out the light switches in my hallway. I thought it would be an easy job to replace them and now I've spent all weekend and still failing. The old switches (built in 1959) have terminals on the top and bottom and all screws are brass where the new rocker switches have them on the...

Afternoon all,
I have been asked to change a consumer unit with a dual supply. I have a common supply, an off peak supply and one neutral, all 16mm double insulated tails. The current set up has the neutral running to the first isolator and then looping from there to the off peak isolator (2...
I have an AquaSurge Pro 2000-4000 pump by AquaScape. The pump is about 8 years old and is in good condition. The cord from the pump has C5 connector which plugs into a control box for a remote to control on/off and volume from 2000 to 4000 GPH. The control box also has a manual on/off switch...
Hi guys, new member to forum here.
I recently bought a new build and I'm slowly replacing the light switches with smart LightwaveRF ones. Most of them I've been able to work out myself and some googling. However there's a 2 gang switch on each of my bathrooms where one of the switches is a...

earths together.
2 red together and isolated on separate 'clamp', not attached.
2 blacks as the 2 contacts for the hanging light unit.

I bought a new in-ground 1HP 120v Harris pool pump (online) and had it installed by my pool maintenance company. A few weeks later it appears blown -- it hums when the power goes on -- but I removed the back and the shaft turns easily so I suspect wiring issues...
Hi,
Could you please offer a bit of advice regarding the following:
We currently have a ceiling rose which is connected to a wall switch and Pull switch i.e. 2 way switching in the old colours. I understand how everything is connected, but, we are replacing the ceiling rose with a remote...
Bought a new light fitting from amazon to replace an old hanging single bulb from a ceiling rose, but I cant get my head around how to wire it for the switch.
Looking at the old fitting it appears to be the last in the chain so there's no loop out, but the new fitting just has a simple...
