Hello all,
This question has always puzzled me - hopefully you will be able to help?
I'm looking at replacing my main lounge light, as it's current light low voltage transformer has failed - so I want to replace it with a mains voltage light, to prevent any more transformer issues in the...
Hello :) from the UK here. Hoping to get some advice please.
In my cellar I only have a dual socket, one of which is used by a washing machine. I use the other part of the cellar for a studio, and have a 250w modeling light (I think it has an inbuilt ballast, I'm not sure, I assume it does)...
Hello, I really need to know if it's possible to calculate the power factor from the voltage and the wattage...
For example...

Thank you
Went to change a light fitting today for a couple who'd just moved in to their new house. The fitting was rated at 2 x 60w. The lamps actually in the fitting were 2 x 70w.
I'm used to seeing ceiling-mounted fittings with a little heat damage, but this was scary. The timber it was mounted to...
Hi Guys,

I think I have received some bad advice from electricians and want to ask here. I was ignorant and did not consider the specs of a Vitamix kitchen blender before plugging it into a 300-watt voltage converter. However, both the blender and the converter worked fine for many events and continue to...
Hi Forum, I have a question and my electrician is on his hols, wondered if anyone here could help.
We need to ventilate an enclosed space within a kitchen island and I have chosen a small and extremely quiet 12v PC cooling fan as the ideal product to do the job, due to its low db rating.

Is it possible to verify the wattage of your panel from the serial no? Obviously a manufacturers 190 w model looks the same as their 200w model. How can you check?
Whats the highest wattage panel you've seen? and by who if you can remember? seen some Chinese ones at 400w and wondered if any of more well known ones have bigger output than 250w or some in the pipeline for release at future date. Might help for future planning.
hi i am at ajob and the customer has already fitted the under cupboar lights all of which are different which is somewhat annoying. i have brought the transformers for them and the are the correct rating. i just dont have a clue how to fit them. this is the first time i have ever had to fit...
Hi guys, I've just done a job where i've installed some gu10 spot lights in a bathroom (to the clients specification) they are now saying that the 50w lights are to bright. I've tried to talk them into LEDs but they dont like em as they are to pricey. Are there any other lower wattage cheaper...
Should power cables stay cold at all times? My shower heater cable gets warm when I use it, now I know the cable should be replaced anyway in this case but I read many posts on the internet with people saying it is normal for high wattage devices like water cookers, AC units and shower heaters...
Hi all, first post here.
I have a 1500W space heater that comes with a little fan in it. It runs off of a 120V outlet (I'm in Canada).
I would like to reduce the wattage to the heater from 1500W to 500W or maybe even 400W. How do I do that?
Cheers,
PepeLapiu :)
Hi all,
Chum at work has 18 LV lights in the kitchen using the G4 5W halogen bulbs. Two bulbs failed but he could only get 10W replacements. Two questions
1. Will there be any detrimental affect having 2 of the 18 bulbs being 10W
2. If he replace all 18 bulbs with 10W, would this provide more...
