    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!

    What's the difference between a good and a bad electrician?

    What are your thoughts? I think a good electrician will accept full responsibility for their work and that responsibility should extend for the life of the installation. A bad electrician would chuck it in any old way and be off in the van as quickly as possible without a second thought.

    Just wondering on what everyones opinion is on installing more than 4kW (peak) is. We have for quite a long time installed more than 4kW on the roof. This is based on the fact that the inverter is limited to G83 and therefore will not exceed the 16A per phase limit but makes it all the more...
