NEVER use a "light" with a "built-in" PIR sensor. Always use a separate PIR Sensor to activate the "Light". Reason. PIR Sensors fail and Lights fail. When (not IF) one of an integrated unit fails, you will need to replace BOTH. In THE LONG RUN, it is cheaper to utilizes separate devices.

Withdrawing the plug disconnects the supply but it does not switch off the supply to the socket outlet. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Australian_Socket-Outlet,_Auto_Switched.jpg "Removing the plug opens the contacts in the socket to provide the same level of safety as a...

Which is why the UK has switches on the Socket Outlets by "Convention" but Australia and New Zealand has them by "Regulation". Regulation AS/NZS 3112 requires that socket-outlets be "individually controlled by a separate switch that ... operates in all active conductors", subject to three...

In Australia, a Consumer Unit with an adjacent "meter" is/was quite normal near the "Front Door" of the premises. With the increase of "Home Units", there is now often a "wall" in the driveway near the entrance of such "Units" which has "Letter Boxes" and then the Electrical Meters and Mains...

Hence, it is a pity that you could not make the (possibly) small effort to not increase that which may turn out to be LANDFILL.

Much discussion here concerning the so called mismatching of the Load (device) to the Supply (availability). Circuit breakers (and CU fuses) are there to protect the internal wiring of a building from overload, which may otherwise result in the overheating of in-wall conductors and possible...

If you CAN find a new bulb holder which will fit, good luck. Since parts of the existing bulb holder have broken off, it is most likely that it is embrittled and needs to be replaced. However, if we had a picture of the disassembled parts of the existing "device", and how it is connected to the...

This is a three year old post !?!?!

No. However, it has the capacity to add a second ESim. This is a facility which I will check out with a Samsung outlet before I do anything else. (Galaxy S21 5G Model name SM-G991B)

Thank you all for your responses. I am likely to be only in London (or close to it - in a nearby "City" or "Major Centre"). I won't be driving myself anywhere, so "poor coverage" should not be of concern.

I may soon travel to the UK for about 21 Days. My (Australian) provider wishes to charge me the equivalent of about £5:00 per day for the privilege of using my Mobile Phone there, for Local calls and for To and From "Home". Total £105:00. My current 'Phone is a Galaxy S21 G5 - with an E-SIM -...

Do you know that you can purchase PIR operated Light Globes which are just inserted into a normal B22 (Bayonet) socket? See https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=PIR+LED+Globe&crid=2UOTXWXXWVK60&sprefix=pir+led+globe%2Caps%2C373&ref=nb_sb_noss which includes such items.

While there have been some later discussions concerning TT Systems, I have not seen it established whether the Earthing System involved is TN-C-S, TT or what? Of course, I am "sticking my neck out" - once again - in commentating on something of which I do not know the actual details. I am quite...

Although you have not posted a photo, presumably it will be something like the item below...
