Yes I tried to keep it short(er) so left out exactly how it works. Maybe the PSU can do more but in my case it's just a constant-voltage power supply and maintains that voltage across the full power range. There's a PWM controller on the output that controls the strip light (that's how all...

Assuming someone hasnt cocked it up somewhere yes!

Thanks, sounds like I need a sparky to work this out? I can obviously check the wiring used for circuits that are visible and in particular in this room, but wouldnt know how to determine the rest of it I can't see, and wouldnt know how to interpret the answer. Is 6A the max for 1mm, and what...

Firstly the short version: can XLG LED power supplies be used on a lighting circuit? The long: I am renovating a large room and this includes running relatively long lengths of RGB-CCT LED strip. I have a pair of Mean Well XLG-150-24 power supplies feeding 24V strips via a controller and...

Yes sorry for using confusing terminology it is gravity fed in terms of the cold storage and header tanks in the loft, the pump serves the central heating and heats the water in the cylinder via 2 separate motorised valves - one for hot water and one for rads.

Hi folks, looking for some advice: This morning when the heating/hot water was scheduled to come on the RCD tripped. I traced the problem to the ring circuit, and then isolated various parts until I identified the fault in the central heating and hot water system - there is a fused switch to...

Perhaps I need to start again and explain better. The RF is irrelevant in terms of any functional benefit, I mention it only because it affects how the system is wired. I chose the particular model I linked to because: 1. The "wifi" allows me to remotely set a vacation mode on and off, which I...

Thanks for replying. To clarify, the point of the RF wireless is not to walk around with the stat (you can't, it's permanently wired into the mains) but because running another wire is not an option. The wifi part is for remote access - I want to be able to turn the heating to frost mode when I...

I was hoping someone would be willing to sanity check my plan to replace a separate CH/HW programmer and room stat. The programmer is next to the boiler and the stat is in the hallway. It is a gravity fed system with a stat on the tank, built 1999. The programmer is inflexible and I am a bit...

OK thanks guys. I will scratch the idea of a twin impeller pump to propel 2x mixed outlets ;) I realised actually one of them is a bath/shower mixer with two outputs so it wouldn't work anyway. So like using a twin impeller for the bath and a single impeller for the shower could work if inlet...

Hi, I have done quite a lot of searching but couldn't find an answer to my specific questions. I am about to refit my bathroom and en-suite, including replacing one shower and fitting a shower over the bath. I have a gravity fed system with what to me looks like a fairly large tank...
