Hi all, Looking to sort out the insulation in the loft very soon and have opted for PIR between the joists as there isn't much head room to begin with. I've done a bit of research and have read some things about potential condensation when using PIR between it and the plasterboard of the...

Hi, Woke up this morning to a squishing sound underneath my floorboards - turns out the water inlet for the washing machine was leaking. I have laminate floor boards -> underlay boards (5mm I think) -> membrane -> tiles (I believe it's tiled in this area, not concrete). From what I can see...

The downlights are 240v. I was pretty confident that I got the feed wire but am pretty sure I am wrong now! What's made it difficult is that I don't have access to the floorboards because of carpet/tiles and the ceiling has been plastered so can't go from that way. If I can't find the...

It is a supply feed, I asked an electrician to have a look while he was here for something else. These are downlights and the junction box can be pulled through so is accessible. I've got a multimeter, what should I be looking for exactly? Thanks.

Hi, I recently put in a new light into an existing lighting circuit but am having an issue. I cut into the circuit and put in a junction box. With this the current circuit still works and and all other lights work. However if I add a light to the new junction box it doesn't seem to work...

I was thinking trying to squeeze in all four, but because it has cut outs for three I assumed I was missing somethnig.

I've never used these click flow connectors before so might be missing something, but I believe these could be used instead of the junction box.

2 for the circuit loop, 1 for the switch and 1 to connect to the next light?

Hi, I'm installing some Scolmore LED downlights and was originally going to connect them up to the circuit via a junction box and daisy chain them together. I now have the lights and didn't realise they came with the Click Connector. These have connections for Neutral, Earth, Live and...

Sorry, got another question! I have now received the lights and was planning on connecting them up to the existing circuit via a junction box and daisy chaining them together. However, now that I've got them I realise they've already got a connector, including one for the loop, thus not...

I was thinking if they are tilted they can be pointed towards the wall rather than straight down, so kind of indirect lighting - is this a good idea?

I've had a look at the Scolmore products and have a couple of questions. For it to be dimmable is it the bulb or the actual light that I need to look at? I'm looking at the Eyeball Downlight http://www.click4electrics.co.uk/click-ovia-gz520wh4swl-led-white-cast-eyeball-downlight-p-1504.html...

This is the only place where I will be using multiple circuits so sounds like Varilight is my best bet. It is effectively a man cave, I think going any further then that would be a pointless for my setup. Having said that I do want to make sure the lights are in the best position in regards...

Thanks Lucid, that is exactly the sort of information I was looking for! So with the two circuits, is it a case of the front two lights would be at a lower level then the remaining lights i.e. they would be dimmer? Also in your diagram is the layout accurate? Would it be ok to have the...

Before I begin I know this might need to go in the electrics section but this isn't about how to wire lights up, it's about ideas for lighting. I want to put in some dimmable led downlights so as to create a 'home cinema'. The area that this is going in is 3.5x2.6m (see image). Has anyone...
