hi guys , im just wondering if anyone has had this problem before, were testing a commercial winery premises, main control gear in one room upstairs (old metal clad MEM stuff) but there has been a shop alteration downstairs, the main installation is around 50 year old, but the shop was done...

I haven't seen your method done skenk but I like the idea lol , but a 10 inch plaster cornice I couldn't guarantee fishing behind , but then the next room is a different level then the hallway lower again , just a complete nightmare to be honest , im checking out led panels and they looking like...

Yes definitely no earth , very first plastic cable to come out I think but that's a bit before my time lol , I haven't seen them led tiles but I'll google it when I get home , sounds promising , as I say money no object but time is a major problem to me as can only go in at nights and weekends...

Yes I know this but I've spent 3 weeks (at weekends and nights because they won't close) putting a lot of other stuff right ! And I changed the board because it needed done ! The last thing that I need to do is the lights , which I thought I'd ask here before I go and tell them the lights need...

Lol yes I know what your saying I had this as well with a certain 2d fitting and I was wasn't convinced either but as to original post I'm going to have to go tell them it needs to be rewired! Thanks for your posts and help :)

Sorry double flourecent lights ! And I can't seem to find any class 2 lights that could replace these ! I'm clutching at straws here I know but I'm struggling lol

No not altered ! Landlord needs certificate , but he has double flow lights and they class 1 but it's old building with plaster cornices which will be nightmare to get earths to or rewire , all different levels with welded floors layed above as its a dentists surgery , I've changed fuse boards...

i have a building with class 1 light fittings , there are no earths , can i leave these as its hard to rewire in this building but it could be covered by an rcbo , will this do

thanks guys i was sent a big letter from a big company with pictures on how not to do it and this is the way to do it !! but was clearly stated the armoured cables coming out the ground must not exceed 300 to 400 mm max to bottom of box ?? i sat thinking thats wrong i pulled regs...

ok can someone please tell me if im right ! cant remember the reg number (i wrote it on paper work i received at work but im at home now) im led to believe the reg for an outside static caravan box is between 0.5m and 1.5m high (0.5 being min and 1.5 being max) and not 300mm to 400mm (300...

yeah , he also told me weeks ago the tutor told him that the exam would not be in areas , i told him it would be , and it was ! he was nearly in tears when he was telling me that he failed , so it wasnt really the time for me to tell him to give it up as he only got 51% lol

lol yeah me too but hes def told me that they all failed to start with and once they dropped the pass rate some of them passed ? i know something aint right here but anyway my mate only got 51% anyway so he failed pathetically lol
