Hi guys. In the next couple of months I’m planning on converting 50% of my garage to a home office and somewhere to setup my home brewery equipment. I’ll be keeping the garage door but plan to have a stud wall with a door so I can access both parts of the garage. The part of the garage that I...

Here is the current layout. https://ibb.co/rmSHXDc

Hi all, I work at home for approx 75% of the week and im planning on converting 1/2 of my garage into an office. I'm looking to convert the back 1/2 of the garage as this has an access door to the garden and i'll be using the front of the garage for storage and keeping the original garage...

Hi guys, I work at home for a minimum of 3 days a week and this is going to change to 5 days within the coming year (thanks to covid). We have a 3 bed house and we have 2 kids so I’ve not got a spare room for an office so I’ve been stuck at the dining room table which isn’t the best. so, my...

Well I did this in the kitchen about a year ago. Is this ok?

The wiring behind that switch?

The camera detects cars/people/movement etc and records no problem so the sensor is ok. I can manually turn the lamp on in the settings but the lamp sensor doesn’t work. So when someone walks past, it records hit the light doesn’t turn on.

literally.... the switch. The left switch is the cctv camera which is left “on”

So, would this work....., Blue to 2 x blue and 1grey (twisted into same socket) Brown to black Earth to earth Then twist the 3 brown together and cap off in new single choc block.

Anyway, back to the light. The new light has the choc block with it but it’s only a 3 way version. I do also have a spare 2 way choc block, if I snap it in half can I just use that to put the spare brown wires in to “cap them off” so to speak?

It’s not, I’ve tried it with a plug before installing it wired as there was an outside light there originally.

Thanks both. Would the current wiring have any yes, was just thinking that. Although the problem with my camera is I have to turn the lamp on manually using the app as the auto sensor doesn’t work but I have another camera exactly the same in the back garden which is linked to a standard 3 pin...

Thank you. So what is the light grey and the black cable for?

Hi guys, I bet it’s been asked a million times before but I’ll ask again in case my situation is different. I’m looking to replace the light at the bottom of my stairway. The light socket is a 3 way socket, 1 for the downstairs light, 1 for upstairs and 1 for the outside security camera...

Thanks mate. The garage is dry, it’s slightly set back from the house so about 50% attaches and it’s then attached to my neighbours garage. The left wall attaching it to the neighbours garage is 100% breeze block. The back wall is 100% single skin brick and the wall attaching it to the house is...
