Thanks so much bud, going to buy them at the weekend. When you say the grey wires I assume you mean the 2 small blue/brown wires into the light itself. I really appreciate your help, and everyone else who has chimed in.

Thankyou So I can gp straight into the light with the wires from the ceiling?? Going to go for these

Thanks all. I thought the white boxes were transformers. I'm going for these I think.

Thanks to all. So if I buy the ones from the sites you guys have mentioned is it just a case of swapping out the old fitting and transformer and fitting the light to the live and neutral fitted in the ceiling? I.e., I won't need transformers.

Thanks all. I have 10 of these in my garage but not too sure of them.

Sorry, life got busy and forgot about this. I've attached photos of the existing lamps and the way the wiring is done. I have looked into the below on Ebay which seem to be what o would need as they are double insulated. Would these be ok and just use the current live and neutral wires to...

I've seen these. The only thing i need to ask now is that I only have live and neutral wires going to the current lights- do I just add these to this connector? Assuming the earth wire on the fitting is all that I'd needed and that I don't need to connect an earth wire too which will be a pain...

Could I just swap these out for GU10 fittings which are double insulated and therefore if a lamp goes in future I don't have to remove the fitting but the lamp itself. Or could buy 230v double insulated led fittings without transformers.

Hi all, I want to change my existing kitchen spotlights as below: I'd like to change them for ones without transformers, maybe even GU10 fittings or even the same type which are 240v - can anyone let me know which ones I could use? Thanks Lee

Hi all, Looking to change the colour of our wetroom floor. It's a light green colour at the moment, see pic - but the wife has asked if we can paint over it. If we can, can someone please advise on the paint/materials needed and also the process. Thanks for any help. Lee

Thanks chaps. We have also had dampness and problems with condensation. We live in a 1940s bungalow so as you can guess its old. It does have modern soffits and fascias aswell as trickle vents on all windows. I did think about an extractor fan but wasnt 100% sure. Im not sure which would be...

Good morning all, I need to add some ventilation to try to stop damp and mold in all the rooms in our bungalow. We moved into the house 5 years ago and it looks like the previous owner caked it in anti mold paint so it would sell and no issues could be seen. I have one room which i store my...

Thanks so much mate. I just realised i took this photo of the back before I removed it and it looks like you are spot on going by the positions in this photo .

So the element went in our in built oven last night. It is a Bush BIOFOB and like an total amateur I forgot to note down which wires go where as my son was disconnecting the spades whilst I held the element to stop it falling as I had removed the screws. It has 5 spade connectors but I have no...

Good morning, Hoping someone can help me here. I need to replace some kitchen spotlights but i want to go for ones that go straight into the mains rather than use a transformer. Are these ones ok for that...
