15m², 7200 lumens, assuming all the light ends up on the floor is 480 lux, hardly excessive for a kitchen. In reality probably more like 400 lux due to losses incurred by walls etc. 'adequate' is subjective. It's just 60W. There are no 'tubes' inside, it's just a linear LED flat panel and an...

Correct. No, and it's a basin anyway. If you want to connect to one of the existing lights, a narrow slot will need to be cut into the plaster horizontally from one of the lights to behind the new cabinet. Wide enough for the cable, and deep enough so that the cable will fit into it and...

This: https://www.toolstation.com/integral-led-lightspan-ip20-ik08-batten-light/p57915 which will cover the same area on the ceiling and very likely use the same fixing and cable locations. It will be significantly brighter than the old fluorescent tube and whatever LED replacement affair has...

Best ignore it then and just shove a slab of manky old plywood on the wall as you obviously intended to do all along.

Sling that 'bracket' away and install a brass munsen ring with backplate and an extension piece of the appropriate length.

All bonding is equipotential, that's the whole point of it. Equi = equal Potential = voltage. Keeps two or more conductive parts at the same voltage by connecting them together. When faults occur within an electrical installation, the main earth terminal and everything connected to it will have...

The point is - reputable forum, someone replies about some topic, a link exists to some other site - therefore certain search engines and similar will classify the linked to site as credible. Repeat a few 100s of times on many forums/sites and the result is that the linked to site gets shoved...

Two more examples at the end of this ancient thread: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/indian-sandstone.655966/#post-6281143 Spam casino links are in the quoted replies, not in the text which was added as a reply.

Expand the quoted reply, and look at the bottom under 'Many thanks in advance'. Link concealed there in transparent text.

Single hose affairs are grossly inefficient, as they cool the air in the room, then use a substantial proportion of that cooled air to remove the heat and shove it outside, while at the same time hot air from outside enters the building elsewhere.

The end of the new cable has all 3 conductors shorted together in that single connector,

Premixed tub slop is generally to be avoided, but in this case the whole lot is a disaster from the start. If you just want a temporary fix the tub slop will be as good as anything. A cement adhesive may cause further problems as it can react with plaster in ways that cause tiles to fall off...

Lino was a very hardwearing durable material, seldom used today. Mostly made from linseed oil and other natural materials. Invented in the 1800s. Most of what is called 'lino' today is crap synthetic chemical plastic sold cheaply on big rolls, typically used for substandard 'refurbishments'...

Grey shiny plastic wastes = ikea crap alert. Sling the entire lot away and replace with McAlpine or similar.
