Hello All, I have an old (circa 1960's I think) ,but very efficient, Sadia hot water cylinder which supplies all hot water to a tiny flat. It has two side entry immersion heaters and either one or both have faulty thermostats as the water becomes scalding hot. How do I replace these...

Hello All again, Found lots of IP44 lights suitable for zones 1,2 and 3 but stating " not suitable if there is a liklihood of water jets being used for cleaning purposes". Could someone clarify what they actually mean here. Fixed/hand held showers for personal cleaning or industrial power...

Thanks everybody for your input. I think we will vere on the safe side and go for an IPX5 unit. Cheers. Hawk.

Hello All, We are thinking of replacing the current bathroom light (single batten lampholder on the ceiling) with a metal chrome plated 3-spot unit. The current lampholder appears to be positioned in either zone 3 or in an area spanning zone 3 and zone 2. What should we be looking for in...

We purchased a new kitchen fan. The old one had simple wiring; switched FCU (3amp) to flex outlet (L:N:E) then live & neutral to the fan. The new fan requires a switched live as it has a timer and humidistat. How would I wire this? All help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Hawk
