I have a customer who is building two houses. In the first house I fitted White Scolmore click / Click mode sockets and light switches etc. The builder and his girl friend remarked that they looked off white in colour and almost have a grey tint to them. They have asked me if I can source some...

Does anyone happen to have a JCC LED7 range in neutral, white, left forlorn on a shelf somewhere? I've one that's slowly dying in my own Mum's kitchen that I must have put in around 10-11 years ago so it'll be out of warranty and whilst she's not bothered if the replacement doesn't quite look...

I don't do much data cabling. I fitted recently CAT6 using TLC budget "Kauden" brand euro modules and plates. No problems with the module connectivity, but they were sloppy in the default frames and the frames were really flimsy and nasty sharp cornered thin plastic. I needed a lot of care just...

Hello All
Firstly, apologies for two threads almost at the same time - I promise this will be my last question for a little while!
So I don't understand what is the reason or the reg for not allowing metal sockets on a dual, metal, flush backbox? Would it be a C2 or C3 (assuming both are on...
Does anyone have a recommendation - preferably without needing a second mortgage - for some outdoor spotlights ?
I've tried a number of options and am getting a bit fed up with trying things and them not working out for various reasons. Most LED floodlights have ridiculously wide beam angles -...
