Hi all, was wondering if is possible to wire a 3 amp table lamb directly to a mains light switch?
The light switch is used for an outside light has two brown wires going to the switch and two blue wires in a chocy block going nowhere?
Thanks.
Steve.
Looking to replace a table saw switch. The saw has a slow start motor, so the usual retrofit start stop switches won’t work.
Anyone ever replaced one/recommend a retrofit switch?
The first table in the OSG, p64 (it has no table name). It says the following maximum loads are assumed per circuit, and then it lists circuits and their rating, along with Load.
My question, is this table showing maximum load that it's recommended these circuits should reach? Or is the Load...
We have just bought this dimmable (three-stage) lamp.
The descriptions states: "Bulbs required 1 x golfball SES small edison eco halogen bulb"
Do you think it has to be an E14 dimmable "eco halogen" bulb? Or do you think I can I get an E14 dimmable LED bulb?
Hi All, First time poster here. I'm an ex-plumber and lamp making diyer.
My question is this:
Is it safe to wire a lamp like the one here (image 1 below):
with a toggle switch as seen here (image 2 below):
Switch type: toggle
Contacts configuration: DPST
Switching method: ON-OFF

I have been asked to ‘bond’ some tables or industrial sized wash bins by the engineering supervisor here at work. People stand and work out of these. Simple structure with water that’s filled from a hose.
Q “can you bond these tables, and what do you think?”
Me. “Well, seeing they are not...
Hi all, im studying 2365 level 3 and working on the coursework, im down to question 4 working on table 1, now its asking for cable lengths, with no dimensions on the images how am i supposed to have any idea how long the cable will need to be? theres no structure information so i dont know then...
Hi guys
The power cable on my table saw attached to the motor came off when I changed blade to 45 degrees.
Turned saw upside down and the power cable was hanging loose, the only wire coming out the motor is a red live cable, how can I reattach the power cable when it has live and neutral wires...
I have a table lamp fitted with 2 core 0.75mm flex.
I wish to extend the length of the cable but only have 2 core 1.5mm flex to hand.
Can I use this, or must the flex be the same diameter both sides of the join.
Sorry if this is a ridiculous question.
Thank you for your advice.
A lot of these mock exam questions are not specific about armoured or non armoured multicore cables, flat twin or not etc, the correct table to use can be a bit of trial and error until you get the correct answer for Volt drop for example.
Hi guys some help required!! My sister runs a centre and has bought 5 x 3kw table top combined oven and hobs they are supplied with plugs which cant be removed as that will invalidate the warrentys. There are 3 spare slots on the consumer unit how can she safely run all 5 appliances. she says...
Could somebody please clarify the difference between tables 4.1.2a & b. It appears to me that the difference is in types of circuit breakers - B or C depending upon max test loop impedance. Is this correct and which measurement do they mean by test loop impedance?
We have a massive selection of LP's - not all on CD or downloads! Some of which I'd like to listen to
We also have an early 1990's Dual CS 430 turntable - but the central spindle will not rotate free - there is no obvious way to clean or lubricate it and despite doing a number of internet...
Table 41.3 provides max Zs values based on Uo = 230V. Can this this table be used to assess Zs for Uo = 110 v ac on a reduced voltage system. Perhaps reducing Zs pro rata?
Thanks
I have one in the OSG and I have the BSI IET (size of a yellow pages) regs book. I found this too:

Hi all.
I am planning a metal table lamp. The light will be a 12 volt LED fed from a plug in transformer, so there will not be any 240 volt cable or connection to the table lamp. Do I need to earth the metal of the table lamp?
Hi All, the story so far : Customer has asked me to make her old brass table lamp work. How hard could it be? No earth, so first step was some new 3 core flex and a brass lamp holder that's got an earth point. An inline switch and I'm away. But no, the new flex won't fit up the stem of the lamp...
Morning all,
Thumbing through the OSG guide today and I have a couple of questions regarding the above table.
Firstly, just a idiot check but electric showers would fall into no.5 water heaters of the instantaneous type. I know this but so often doubt myself.
Secondly, No. 9. Am I right...
Hi,
I hope my abbreviated title caught someone's attention and makes some sort of sense.
On page 58 of the Electricians Guide to the Building Regulations there are some standard circuits listed. In particular I'm looking at the cooker entry on page 59 and have a couple of questions:
1) Why...
