    5 amp sockets keeps tripping - confused

    These are the light bulbs used currently. The Philips (higher wattage) being used in the problem area. Perhaps something like this could work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Luxvista-Dimmable-Filament-Incandescent-Equivalent/dp/B0872XRK32/ref=sr_1_41?keywords=dimmable+e27&qid=1639137151&sr=8-41

    Issue with Bell 801 Wiring

    Great thanks for your help, I thought as much. There is one that hasn't got a wire connected " I " (the first one). Can I do trial and error with the wires remaining without causing damage? Is it normal to have excess wires unused as I will have? Thanks again, and much appreciated.

    Issue with Bell 801 Wiring

    Hi all, I have recently renovated my flat and changed the entry phone. This phone was moved around a lot to accommodate the works going on.
