Thanks for the replies.
If NYY-J is easier to use may I ask why it's hardly mentioned on here and always the Hituf cable that seems to be used?
Thanks in advance.
As some of you will know im installing some outside lights on my farm.
Been looking on TLC website and they sell NYY-J cable which appears to be perfect for the job.
From searching on here, seems Hituf cable is simular but used more often than NYY-J.
Is there any reason for this? Was...
Thanks for the reply.
Did think so, but wanted to check.
A guy has 400no 150w and 200no 70w for £10, and he says they work fine so hoping to grab myself a bargin.
At that price, will get a few extra, and then can change the lamp if more/less light needed in a area.
Hello,
Ive been offered some 150w Metal Halide fittings. If they are too bright for the job, can I replace them with 70w tubes or is the ballest specifically for each wattage lamp?
Think it's just the price that's putting me off at the moment. £100 a light is over my budget at the moment. They do seem to be the lights of the future, when the technology gets even better
When you put it like that, I guess the extra instal cost wouldn't be that great compared with the running costs over a few years.
Been tempted to get some of them LED floodlights that are starting to appear more common now, but don't think they would be bright enough for the job needed.
Thanks for letting me know that, had no idea.
There has been one 400W discharge light for over 3 years now, and no complaints so fingers crossed I wouldn't get any with a second.
Is it lights over a certain output which need planning permission? Only say that because a 70w discharge would...
Thanks for the replies....
Ricicle.. The cable will be surface mounted on the metal framework and wooden roof purlin supports.
Only using the e 500w lights in entrances as very cheap to buy, and wouldn't be on long each evening, so wouldn't cost too much to run either.
Just wondering...
Hello Guys,
I would like to install 6x Floodlights to the outside of a farm building.
2x of the lights will be 400w Metal Halide to light up the fields near by.
The other 4x lights will be 500w Halogen lights to light the entrances to the building.
Most of the instructions for the lights...
Simon,
Could you direct me to any sites that would supply a suitable small UPS.
When I did a google search all I can seem to find is very complex systems which Im sure I wouldnt need.
Thanks in advance.
If cost wasn't a issue, then I think I would.
For the meantime its just getting the wiring updated which should keep it from tripping.
Had a look into a board with all RCBO's and seems would be a good idea, so at least will only take out one circuit if a fault happens.
Will get my...
RF,
just noticed your reply.
As my CU isn't split load, would I be right in thinking it would need to get the spark to change it to a split load to enable the new radial to be installed without the RCD protection?
