Hi Forum people. First time post here.
I have a pair of semi flush fittings that are currently 10 Halogen capsules per fitting. I want to convert these to LED at 2 watts per capsule. Space is a very limiting factor. Each fitting currently has a round transformer inside. I only have an 80mm...

Hi Everyone
I need a little advice please. I have bought a Coast Outdoor Led Bulkhead & PIR which states on the instructions that it can be fitted vertically and horizontally. It was fitted by the electrician horizontally, but unfortunately it appears that the PIR is looking directly down...
My customer wants to fit round sockets and switches. He has sent me a link to the back boxes that are required.
A few questions..
1. Has anyone fitted these before (see links below)? if so, did the backboxes take much longer than normal 25mm boxes? I believe they are 46mm deep or even 66mm...
Hello. I hope someone can help. I've just discovered that on a new build house built just over a year ago there is a problem with the wiring from the incoming mains fuses to the consumer unit. Phase 1 was wired correctly. But the cable from Phase 2 on the main fuse is connected to Phase 3 on the...
"A friend in need is a pest, indeed."
I was helping a friend's family over the weekend, got in over my head with respect to fitment of a round receptacle cover.
The house is 2002 construction. The two-car garage has two ceiling light fixtures. It had two utility fixtures like this:

I always find stripping round flex a bit of a pain. I nibble away at it, bend it forwards, backwards, sideway and eventually it comes off. Sometimes it far easier than others.
Does this jokari tool work? There seems to be lots of jokari strippers, is there a particular one for round flex? looks...
When selecting a CPC, do I round up or down? For example, if I have 120mm2 actives do I select a 50 or 70mm2 earth? If a have 150mm2 actives, is 70mm2 enough?
Going through some old boxes I must have found 30-40 old round 20a and 30a JBs
does anyone still actually use them or is it vago boxes all the way these days
I have a 1-gange box on the wall where an old wall sconce was. The new sconce has a round wall plate. Is there a way I can convert the box to accommodate the round plate without having to replace it with a round junction box?
Hi,
I'm thinking of replacing my 8 gang switches which are all 20Amp DP to newer MK ones. One of them is marked "Hob" but actually controls the oven. The switch on the other side of the kitchen near the Hob and cooker actually controls the Hob. I think this is a 45Amp style switch. This is how...
So I am choosing my downlights and I was looking at the cylinder shaped fire rated downlights. The electrician mentioned look at LED slim recessed downlights as my new plasterboard ceiling would not be able to hold the weight of the standard fire rate downlights.
One thing I didnt clarify - who...

Is there any other way I can get my hands on a gold card? All I have left to do is the portfolio of pictures and its become a right pain to do since I am self-employed. I've done my college, City & Guilds 2330 Level 2 & Level 3, and then I worked with my Dad for a few years, then I left my Dad...
Just a thought, and idea.
suppose I charge up 10 car batteries during the day from my solar power (grid connected), then using an AC inverter pure sine wave, connected to a separate extension lead NOT connected to the mains supply to power my fridge freezer and TV.
any ideas
I am looking to join 2 cables for an outside security light. The mains cable on the existing light is 8mm flat twin. But the new light is a 6mm round twin.
I can't rewire as it goes into the wall to the socket. So was looking at an ip66 connection. But can't find one that does both sizes.
Any...
