I have a Drayton Digistat+3 programmer and I notice that it is designed to reach the desired room temperature by a very gradual process, and I wonder if that's a good thing. As an example, suppose that the room temperature is 16 degrees and thermostat is set to 20 degrees. The programmer calls...

Err, I take it that the conduit suggestion is firmly tongue in cheek?

I'm considering replacing my existing hallway lights with a new installation. The hallway is about 8 metres long with an existing ceiling rose about 1m from one end. It's also about 3m height from floor to ceiling. Above the ceiling rose is the connection to the existing lighting circuit, which...

Sorry if this is a silly question, as I have no practical experience of this, and only a limited grasp of the fundamentals, but isn't it a building regulation that, for shared aerial installations in a residential setting, the following must be done: - earth the outer sheaths of all coax...

Thanks for the responses, they now clear things up for me. It looks like I've probably wasted a bit of money and effort by specially seeking out an splitter with an integrated enclosure instead of a simple one, as I'll need to eventually buy a separate outdoor enclosure anyway. But oh well...

I see how the bonding works in this particular case as shown in the picture, but I now have two questions about this particular splitter that I have: - in my case, the splitter has five F connectors, but not arranged in a single row. Rather, they're arranged in one row of two and one row of...

Thanks again to everyone for the replies. I guess it's pretty clear what needs to happen next. I was thinking about pulling that metal lever down to shut off the electricity so that I could add in a light switch (!) into one of the circuits, but not any more. In fact I'm now afraid to touch...

Photos of the bottom of the meter and of the cutout I hope they're clear enough, if not I can enlarge them and upload with better quality.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I'll put up a photo when I get home tonight. In response to securespark, the box we have looks much older than the link. And in response to Spark1964, I am a leaseholder, and the leaseholders are collectively responsible for building maintenance, so...

Hello, I hope this isn't a silly question, but if it is, please bear with me as I'm not an electrician and I've only started learning about these things recently. Along with the other three residents, we're jointly responsible for the maintenance of the common areas of my block of flats...
