Just swapped them out, turned out even easier than planned. Thanks for all the help :) Oh my god yes, exactly that. I don't know who put the lights in this house, but they are missing light placements or have them placed in stupid places. This is my kitchen, at one end on one switch you have a...

hah something like that :P What I'm after is automatic lights via motion sensor and have a switch override. My thinking is, and this might not be how they work, would be that the PIR sensor can run on a battery and you put a switch with a receiver into the wall where the old switch was. That...

Ah ok, so there's no issue with me replacing the rose with a normal type for LED then. I found it strange how they were only fitted in the hall and landing - I mean the whole house is weird stupid but I wasn't sure if they were used as some kind of safety feature Thanks :)

My house was built in 2007 and all light fixings are bayonet. Apart from 2. The hall and the landing. Which both have these weird fixings for weird bulbs I've never seen before. When they turn on, they come on like energy saving bulbs. As I'm replacing many of my lights with LED bulbs, I wanted...

Thank you for your reply. It was actually the sister of a girl I met recently and probably won't be going back :P When I say I can find each piece, I can find PIR sensors and I can find switches that look like that. I can't find how they work together, who makes a set that does etc. As I say...

I saw these at a friends rented house, there were no markings and the landlord put them in. I'd love to buy some but can't find them. I can find the switch and find the sensor but surely they come as a package as the switch would need a receiver? They look like this. The sensor, obviously...

So I picked up the mitre saw from my mates mums house - had a few subtle "I'll see you for a screw" jokes at my friends expense as you do. I've just given it a go and that looks like it's going to work really well - using you block graphic there @rsgaz - thank you. I just need to go a grab some...

Ah I see, yeah I need to make cuts like that frame picture, 67deg for half and 23 for the other half - to make the "square". And I understand your wedge part I look forward to experimenting tomorrow :D

But it will do 67.5 if it's on the details of the product page right?

I think I understand, my friends mum has just said I can have her late husbands, so before I spend any money I'll experiment with that and see how it goes. The plan was sticking beading to the stair wall was going to be cheaper and easier than panelling the stairs :P - we'll see!

Ah fantastic! Then it sounds like this will do the job :) Thank you :)

Ah ok, so just to confirm - because this is where I wasn't clear - on a mitre saw I can set ANY angle, not just what they list in the description. Here for example; http://www.screwfix.com/p/angled-compound-mitre-saw/59824 You're saying that it's not limited to just 45° 50° 60° 67.5° 75° &...

Hello, I'm needing to cut 67 and 23 deg angles in beading - imagine a picture frame stuck on the wall, now skew it so it's in line with the bannister and stairs. So I thought what I could do is get a hand/mechanical mitre saw, but everywhere I look, mitre saws come with a predefine spec of...

^^ It was in reference to a string of 240v LED downlights

I completely agree, since buying this house and starting to modify/decorate I've come across a number of questionable tools. The AC detector has to be the worst, I read reviews and they seemed hit or miss, bought one with the best reviews at the time and it is awful, I only use it sometimes for...
