Removing a room of downlight converters, not only did they convert the large ceiling holes, but also the connections ... by means of the MR16 lampholder!

Well it is creative, you could say that!

There's never anything good to be found at the end of a length of orange flex

My neighbour's neck would be a good start...

I have never realised before, but that is very true

Wow - this thread is still getting plenty content, at this rate it will be the first thread to hit 1million views soon.
Not bad for a Electrical trade forum I must say so myself

Not too bad, as long as you can release the two clamp bands holding the motor/fan assembly in place, and you are replacing with the same model.
Motor and fan just slides out, leaving the frame and pipes undisturbed.

I turned up to change an outside light. This was the supply cable as I found it and the photograph to explain to customer why it needed to be a bigger job. Needless to say I took it out of service and ran a new cable.
When the place was rewired I think no one fancied tackling the slate roof to replace it.

Twin (without earth) and tinned copper conductors, so it's probably sat here in its buckle clips since the early 60's

Well done people, for making such a lovely forum that's so so busy it's ace.

Thank you.

We could post up a “calendar girls” style naked photo shoot to get those views up.

We are currently re-wiring a run down house, just your average 3 bed end terrace. Everything inside it electrically pointed to it being some sort of old commercial business, EM lights dotted about for one. but according to the new owner it wasn't, he said an old bloke lived there that was a bit mad, nothing shows up on Streeview either showing it anything but a house. I could have taken many more photos of things but this is the sort of stuff he got up to apparently.

That one is my favourite, screwed to the underneath of a floorboard, fed in alarm cable so maybe some sort of booby trap.

Secuirty light switching

Cables everywhere, these were for the CCTV

Backdoor

All that was left of the shed, it was full of electronic stuff apparently, would have loved to have a look around it but it was gone before we turned up.

And lastly a bit of switch wiring

Looks normal but it was years old and wired about 30 years ago or more, those cables are twin and earths, not 3 cores with the grey cut out. Where the hell did he get black and brown cable from?
