I dunno, cause it's my house and just maybe, just maybe i might dare to be a bit different? at what point did i say in my original question, it's a massive issue and my kids and wife are threatening to leave me unless they get a silly LED that stays on all the time? Of course, had i explained...

true true :). But i didnt mention the wall lights, so there's easily 3 switches there, before you know it. Anyhow, this was just an idea. was interesting to read the professionals pitfalls of it. Having read their comments, doubt i'll go ahead with it. Mainly because of isolation. Might as...

ah yes! doh! of course, i forgot about that. the LED would need an isolator too. hmm, food for thought. much appreciated :)

hi, thanks for that. it's not the light switch illumination i wanted, but an LED to act as a night light i.e. something with decent (night) light output

HI all, was wondering if someone could answer this question for me. I want to install a ceiling light that that (obviously) connects to a light switch. I also wanted, a LED light to come ON, when the ceiling light is switched OFF. Is this achievable? and is this "normal"? i mean, is it...

ah yes, you're probably right to refer to microwaves. but, it's quite a broad definition. it's easier for the OP to perhaps understand with a link to a product :D

Hi OP, i have a sensor light in a hallway that works through stud walls. it can certainly "sense" me way before i get near a line of sight of it. Works through some high frequency 5.8ghz, rather PIR. This is the link to their site...

I did ask a number of times, whether code 2 might i should get them carried out asap. the electrician say "no, only if you want to". but to me that meant, they were advisory? but reading the back of the paperwork says i should remedy as soon as possible? i see what you mean by subjective...

thank you all so much for all the info, just digesting it. on the above note, re potential load, what would remedy this? do i need a sepepate consumer unit? just thinking wouldnt both of them be on same 100amp mains fuse? or would i need a totally seperate seconds mains connection? would...

Hi, i've searched the forum and there seems to be conflicting opinions. i would be eternally grateful for some clarification: I've had a PIR just done, mainly code 2s. there are some i am not sure i need to do and even i want to do! CU = 100Amp, 2 floor flat. 1 x 40amp RCBO for cooker...
