Thanks, this job is probably beyond me anyway, but i'd rather at least know what my switch buying options are before I get an electrician to fit it (and also avoid wasting time and money getting the wrong switch)

Thanks for the input. Just to clarify, the switch in the pictures is still the old rotary dimmer, possibly from a time before energy saving lightbulbs existed. There was no bulb in the room so I bought a dimmable LED and it was working ok but I didn't leave it on as it was flickering a bit and...

Hello I want to replace an old rotating dimmer switch with a wifi dimmer switch preferably, but if that works out too impossible or complicated, I would be happy enough to just have a normal 2 gang switch or 1 gang switch. It's in a living room beside a kitchen, the kitchen has a 2 gang...

It's a Mira Go, not sure what kw rating as it's not labeled anywhere on it. Yes, located in Ireland.

You're right, it does say B40, thanks for the reply, was a bit concerned. Yeah well you know how some landlords are, it's not the only thing in this apartment that's a bodge.:rolleyes: Thanks

Hello, I have a question regarding the safety of my shower. The other day, the power to the shower went off as I was just finishing using it. Then the trip switch for it at the box refused to stay in the on position. I informed my landlord and he said he would take a look, I hoped he would get...

Ok, now it's all making even more sense, I can ignore the switched live, as that would only be for it coming on with a bathroom light or separate switch as mentioned above. That makes it even easier. I've heard that humidistat fans can be a bit tricky with the setting of the humidistat...

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. Just to clarify, there is already a fairly decent working cooker hood in the kitchen, but a lot of condensation still finds its way to the adjacent utility room, probably because it's a cold unheated room next to the usually warm kitchen. I suppose the...

Thanks, It didn't occur to me that the earth wire in the cable I'll buy might not be insulated. I'll see if the local hardware has 3 core & earth cable. But it'll be ok to run the 2 lives to the 1 live connection in the plug?

But my understanding is that it has a "permanent live" ( so the humidistat can always work) , neutral and switched live ( for the timer to switch it off i guess) So if I use a normal 3 core cable, since there appears to be no earth connection, would I be able to use the earth wire as a second...

Hi, Just bought a Vents 100 MTHK Extractor Fan with Humidistat and Timer. I want this to be controlled just by humidity levels. I want to know if it can be wired to a normal plug, and how. It's not for a bathroom situation, so it's not near any water. It's only for a utility room that gets...
