XenForo.com has a really good downloads system, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ that they sell, and perhaps would be handy for us to have, so that we can upload guides and PDF instructions and things for boilers and whatnot perhaps?
Do you think it'd be a handy thing to have?
And not...

Hello I am looking at installing some LED strips in my own house and I have found a website that seems to do them for cheap. It's a Chinese website but looks quite decent.
The ones I've installed before from electrical wholesalers has cost a lot of money over £200.

I have a request from a customer who basically wants a number of LED floods installed. However he wants it set up that all the lights come on when any PIR picks up motion.
1 light will be a lot more labour intensive than the rest, but he's looking the sensors in awkward locations in regards...
Hi folks,
Great to be here - plenty banter and info kicking about.
My business partner, a qualified electrician and I are wondering if you need to be at least approved to test and sign the test certificates on a small residential extension?
Any info would be appreciated as no matter what we...
I'm digging out a set of a dozen ground mounted floodlamps installed in ~ 1985.
The junctions to SWA are all made within galvanized conduit boxes, which are suspended in air inside large bucket-sized underground clay pots.
Most interestingly, the source of extremely low insulation resistance...

I know I'm stupid for asking this question. Basically I went to my mums house today where I witnessed my stepdad doing diy and fitting some new bar spot lights in the kitchen that he had bought from b+q.
Anyway I stepped in as he had gotten the Strappers mixed with the L-in & L-out / loop. So I...
Right here we go, I realise that the shows I'm talking about are mainly aimed at the DIY section of society, or in my case a bored nearly ex Electrician. Never the less I am compelled to vent my anger at the down right blatant dangerous information dished out by some of these so called experts...

Evening all,
I'm looking for supplier of good quality LED strips (preferably 24v) with 3000 and 4000K colours. There's a lot of stuff about but want a supplier who does decent/recommended stuff rather that cheap crap from ebay!
Thanks
Hi all just wanted some feedback what your best brands are for LED light bulbs, downlights or related products please?

Cheers Rob (forum rookie)
I'm currently in the process of a house refurb and next on my to-do list is light switches and wall sockets.
I've narrowed it down to two brands which are MK & Crabtree and Screwfix stock both at reasonable prices.
Which brand shall I go for?

Quite often I see conduit going into an adaptable box or conduit box 'outside'. This is fine if it is coming in from the bottom, you can just use a normal adaptor to go into the box, but often it comes in from the side and the adaptors are not IP rated.
I just wondered if anyone here uses...
