    What is this black tarry stuff on the cable?

    I have been carrying out an EICR on a property and have come across this black tarry substance on 2 of the cables. I have seen the pitch oozing out of a cut out before and I don't think it's this. Mainly because I thought that was only on the cut out fuse. It's also not green, so it's not...

    I've been watching Residual Current on youtube (great vids and great bloke btw) and really love watching the more industrial/commercial side of things.

Today, in the mail, I got a nice big red envelope from Aico, enclosing my Installer sticker, Installer's handbook and a multi-purpose pen which is indeed a pen, but has a reversible screwdriver bit at one end. Sadly, being plastic, the screwdriver...

    Would you get a rewire done if there's nothing wrong with the old stuff?

    Hi all. Just bought a house and it needs some attention to the electrics in terms of layout - loads of rooms that need 2 way switches don't have them, weird lighting set ups where one switch will do an inside and outside light at the same time etc, mostly trivial stuff. I had planned to get a...

    Creative Ideas.. Smart Stuff

    I'm scratching my head for a way to get a timer bathroom extractor to work in the normal way but with a LightwaveRF Gen 2 switch. Clearly it would be impossible to wire to the switch in the normal way due to how LWRF works. I'm convinced it wouldn't work 'electrically' and my only idea is to...
