    You've got to turn these things into a positive!

    I'm all set to fit my 8 downlights at the customers house. I texted the builder the night before to make sure he wouldn't be in the way, he's already said he wouldn't but I wanted to double check. No reply so I assume all is well. I get to the job and he's plastering right were I need to work...

    Where do these cowboys come from?

    I was called out to a fault today where the newly fitted consumer units RCD was tripping when the cooker was switched on.The cooker had been checked by an appliance engineer and deemed to be fully working with no faults. So I turned up to be presented with a nice new shiny MK metal clad dual RCD...

    Bit of advice, does the wiring of these dimmer switches look ok to you?

    I hope it's ok to ask, I just want to make sure I don't get the same electrician who wired the house to fix this if this doesn't look right. We have a 3 gang and a 2 gang dimmer switch, on which the buttons are knackered on both. I thought I'd have a go at replacing them myself, but was not...

    Why is it so difficult to buy these....?

    Lazing in the garden and decided to ask this after wondering why.. Why is it that you cannot buy 30mm socket screws or 1mm H05RN cable easily? Most wholesalers sell 35mm, 40mm and 50mm socket screws. They also sell H07RN or 0.75mm H05RN. Most sockets come with 30mm screws in a packet with...

    So what’s the script with these AFFDs?

    been doing some poking about on the 18th and came across something about AFFDs is this gonna be something else that we are going to have to sell to our customers when all they want to do is add a couple of sockets to an existing RFC? Like the inevitable I want 4 new sockets, no problem but as...

    Where can I buy these in the UK?

    The customer had an RCD tripping problem. I found it to be with the fountain lights. They are small tube lights (G4) that are actually submerged into the water (see picture). They are attached to a piece of flex. I need to replace the lights with something similar. It doesn't have to be...

    Can anyone identify these

    Hi all, If anyone could identify these downlights I'd be grateful. Obviously they look like a fire rated, integrated LED fitting, just not a brand I'd usually use. Customer would like some more in a house he's just bought. Many thanks

    Anyone remember these?

    Stubbled upon this little gem today, this is only the second time I’ve seen one of these in 12 years. Is this museum worthy?

    Anybody know who makes these ??

    Been working in a old property. Wiring is getting on a bit but one of the breakers has failed. Not a major problem as the lights are split between numerous circuits and i can take an old one out of the now redundant and unused eco7 board that used to power the old lights in laundry/maids room...

    What are our kids being taught these days?

    So this happened today:- My daughter texts me from school asking if its ok to put a 100W bulb (her word, not mine) when it says 60W Max? I replied no, it'll be too hot. Fire risk. When she gets home, I asked her about it. Apparently for a biology experiment, in photosynthesis. She said the...

    Do these wire caps need to be removed prior to installation?

    I am installing a new electric hob, the wiring came with these cable caps at each end. Its a single phase installation so I'll be combining L1 & L2 at the junction box. Do these cable caps (silver colour) need to be removed? See picture. I assume so, but if you could confirm it would be...

    What would you code these as?

    Evening all. I have just finised an EICR on a new extension. The previous electrician cannot be contacted. The work was pretty shoddy. No identification sleeving on cables where needed including some earths. The 3 possible codes are as follows: 1. 1mm line conductor in the 6A MCB was loose...

    What do college courses teach these days?

    Been helping a friend put some conduit up today to run cat5e and phone cable down to the shed/office in his garden. His son is doing a plumbing course at college and was keen to help with the conduit and bending, His method of putting an off set into the conduit was to get a butane torch and...
