New to the forum and seen some great information so far on various courses out there.
As a result of being made redundant from the army I'm looking to enrol on a course in the next few months. A lot of the funding will be subsidised from training allowance, so it makes sense for me to go on a...
Hi, could anybody please advise of any reason a Low Voltage track light, with 4 bulbs should only be working intermittently. This is controlled by a standard one way switch (not dimmer) and I'm assuming the fault is with the contacts for the bulbs. I was wondering if this could be a transformer...
Ok, bit of a silly one here,
but what are the lights called where you span them from wall to wall with wire which is low voltage and have down lights along the wires?
Trying to find them so any links would be great!
Hi folks.
I was called to a shop today where someone had driven into the shopfront (80 year-old driver in an automatic attempting to parallel park).
The builder has made good the shopfront, and before he started he disconnected the track lighting at a junction box on the wall in the shop...
Already done abit of research but without getting my hands on a product it's gonna be hit or miss,
I'm after a nice looking track light for my front room, it will have to accept dimmable led gu10's. a minimum of 4 spots but 5/6 would be better due to the loading on the switch.

Hi
I am planning to put a cable out to a shed to setup a workshop in there. I use a lot of wood working tools (band saw, lathe, planer thicknesser), plus welder and grinders. Ill also want a lighting circuit. All single phase. The cable has to go about 10 m underground and will go under a...
I've been told there's a way of achieving a CSCS Gold card without doing an NVQ. You have to take a test and prove work you have done. It costs £650. Does anyone know anything about this?
Does anyone know what that new dado track system is called? It is like a bar you mount above, or below a work space and you can simply just click sockets on at any point and slide them where you want? Like a lighting track with the clip on lights?
Hi guys,
I've got a bit of a dilemma. Yesterday I went to a customers house and changed all of the properties grid switches to mk.
Now the problem is, the guy has low voltage track wire light fittings in every room, and he has brought mk dimmer grid switches to control these.
I connected one...

Hi I have just got a job in a big community hall. Complete refurbishment. Now they have asked for track lighting for the stage. On it they have 2 100w floods and 5 100W spot lights. Now all they want to control this is a 1gang dimmer switch.
Am I right in saying just any dimmer switch will be...
I am a DIY amateur electrician who has a problem with my kitchen lights. The fuse continually pops about 5 minutes after switching on the kitchen lights (a chandelier and 2 wall lights). The bulbs are low energy so total load is <100w and the problem occurs even when all of the bulbs are...
