    Cooker Switch Dilemma

    Apologies if I am not being clear enough. The cable was removed in haste as I thought we wouldn't use it. I have the cable that goes into the cooker switch from the consumer unit but I cannot get a cable back to this to then feed the oven. I can access this cable under the kitchen unit and...

    Cooker Switch Dilemma

    Hi guys, I had a kitchen fitted a couple of years ago which came with a solid plate hob and was wired to a cooker switch. I removed the cable from the switch when replacing hob to a gas one. Original oven was fitted with a 13amp fuse and plug into kitchen cabinet. I have now bought an under...

    Installing Salus RT500 RF to Ideal Vogue C32

    Hi Guys, I have recently purchased a Salus RT500RF wireless thermostat to connect to my Ideal Vogue boiler as we currently have no stat at all and I am unsure on a couple of things on fitting the transmitter to the boiler. There is a single socket I can take a feed from to create a fused spur...

    In the light fitting that is currently there, there are only 2 cables that are connected to it which would appear to be a live and neutral...

    Looking To Install Down Lights

    I'm looking to buy class 2 downlights as the lighting circuit has no earth and these will be operated by a wall switch. These will also be replacing my current light fitting that is there already.

    Looking To Install Down Lights

    With regards to fitting these, could i simply loop the lights as in like daisy chain them together from the connector block on the downlight or would this be deemed as bad practice? Also would 1mm2 twin and earth cable be sufficient?

    Looking To Install Down Lights

    Been looking at some 35W equivalent LED down lights, would these be bright enough if i got 3 of these? http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Lighting/LED%20Downlights/LED%20Fire%20Rated%205w%20High%20Power/d220/sd3293/p89624

    Looking To Install Down Lights

    We currently have a wall light there and its absolutely crap as it creates shadows and it just isn't bright enough. With adding some down lights, we thought it would give the hallway a modern look but also with creating enough light that wouldn't make the room too bright as the hallway will...

    Looking To Install Down Lights

    My fault had a couple of vinos this evening :D Would have liked 5 (including 1 at the top of the stairs) but would have had to buy 2 sets with one left over. They seemed appealing with them being quite cheap. I didn't realise they cost so much to run as we currently have 8 50W GU10's on...

    Looking To Install Down Lights

    :shock: Never thought about it like that. That is eye watering on just 4 bulbs! :shock: The problem i have is that my lighting ring has no earth and the ones i have been looking at are class 2 double insulated which require no earth. I'm guessing that i could just easily swap the 50W...

    Re-siting switch from hallway to bedroom

    With regards to going back to my original plans, i was weighing up the options if it was viable to have an earth wired up to my lighting ring as it doesn't have one and whether it was a complex job or not or if i would need to get a sparky in. There was no need to go around calling me an idiot...

    Re-siting switch from hallway to bedroom

    Going to go back to my original plans as it will save a lot of messing around. So now i have got all my cables in place ready to be wired up but the thing i am unsure about (after looking at the single way lighting wiki) is that with the light i am getting the feed from only having a live and...

    Re-siting switch from hallway to bedroom

    [/url] I feel it would be more beneficial if i added an earth to the lighting circuit as i would like to replace some of my lighting to chrome fire rated fixed down lights. I have done some more investigating in the loft and have found a junction box which there is a picture of this below...

    Re-siting switch from hallway to bedroom

    Ive decided that the best way for me is to get a feed from the hallway light as it is next to the bedroom although this has no earth either and it could appear that the whole lighting ring has no earth after having checked a couple of rooms upstairs. I think i could be misunderstanding...

    Re-siting switch from hallway to bedroom

    Managed to disconnect the ceiling rose and pull switch in the bedroom and swap the double in to a single switch without any problems. With regards to running a cable from another ceiling rose, the back bedroom doesn't have a ceiling rose and has a fixed light instead. Would this cause any...
