You will need to apply for a new commercial electricity supply which will require details of the proposed loads, and if you intend to convert parts of the building into dewllings they will require their own separate supplies. This is not just a case of fitting a couple of fuses. This is a DIY...

In many normal situations that does happen. The property in question has been previously used as a drug growing emporium. Fuses may have just been been removed - or more likely the supply has been cut in the road outside. This is also a commercial affair, not a domestic dwelling.

On lumens only it's roughly half the wattage, so LED of about 10W. There are other considerations such as what direction(s) the light is emitted, colour temperature, tubes take several minutes to achieve full brightness and old tubes will have less output than when they were new.

You have no 'rights' here at all. As the supply has been cut off, then if you want electricity then you will have to pay whatever reinstatement costs are due. £1000s is likely. Given your other threads on this property, you are way out of your depth here. This property requires vast amounts...

514.4.2 Not permitted unless for a PEN conductor, which it won't be in any normal circuit wiring.

This affair: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Instant-Electric-Water-Heater-Instantaneous/dp/B0DRCCHXPM It's a direct from China import, so there will be no complaining or warranty when it goes wrong. Doubtful it complies with any UK requirements for electrical or plumbing. It claims to be supplied...

We get it - you hate EVs and will never ever buy one or even look at one. However stop spreading BS propaganda about how you think they are used, because you are entirely wrong.

Does this caravan malarkey involve staying in the thing continuously for days/weeks and then returning home with it? Or more likely is the car taken to other places and then parked? - which is when it would be charged. Even if it is the staying in the field and doing nothing else, surely these...

What is going to happen in the next 5 years that would suddenly require all of these new batteries? Presumably meaning those 600 mile non-stop journeys that always involve towing a caravan across the desert where there are zero charging facilities. Or the 300 mile version where someone drives...

16 amps is the usual choice, example: https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-digital-immersion-timer/1804r A search for 'immersion timer' will reveal plenty of other options. However before buying anything, you will need to determine how the E7 is configured, as some are switched via the meter or an...

That's pretty much every driver, the only exceptions being someone who learned to drive very recently and did so in an electric vehicle. What's to understand? ICE car = taking it to a fuel emporium to fill up with petrol or diesel. EV = plug into an electrical outlet. That's it. No mystery...

Used EVs exist, including for under £5000. EV does not mean 'brand new piece costing £60k+' despite what newspaper rags attempt to have people believe. And no, the battery does not automatically need to be replaced because it's X years old.

If they are what they look like, the wire is clamped between a metal piece and the plastic body, and when they get hot the plastic melts and the wire falls out.

Buy the complete light fitting. The plate shown is from an ASD product. Not something which was ever sold separately, or would be of any use other than as part of the specific light fitting it was sold with originally.

All the documents are here. https://bregroup.com/expertise/energy/sap It's RdSAP 10 for dwellings currently but you will probably have to look in SAP 10 as well. It's 100s of pages.
