They use these on my local shell garage forecourt. They're actually pretty bright and light the area well enough about 5m up.

What model is it?

Thanks Chri5, I was actually thinking though about connecting the mains cable between floors. Ideally I'd like to star wire single lights and then convert back to ring main when I sell.

Mainly because I want as little on show as possible..so it would really ruin the looks of it. It's useful bu you need the time, patience and knowledge etc to maintain it....most people aren't interested in it so would be put off.

I have to join the cables at some point - it's not a ethernet network it's a special network used for home automation that means you daisy chain the modules. Ideally I can put a ring around the top of the room and then drop down to the accessories. I was thinking it would save money and be more...

Ideally yeah but I'm trying to wire it in a way that means it can be reverted to a 'standard' wiring layout when I sell up so I won't need to rewire again. It's very complicated to be honest and I'm still working out the best way to do it myself.

I'll try.... I'm starting to look at ways to implement a home automation network which will use a mixture of 12VDC and data cables, as well as the usual 230VAC. I'm trying to work out what needs to be accessible..and how easily. As I understand it when you have an electrical connection...

Hi, Can someone just clarify a couple of points for me please.... Do ALL electrical points have to be accessible for inspection - including ELV/data ones? Is there a generally accepted definition of 'accessible'? eg Does it have to be visible? Can it be behind something that's...

Isn't the project a little misguided in that it assumes a house alarm is designed to protect against damage when really their purpose is to protect against loss and report damage? A situation I can see arising with your plan is what happens when your house alarm goes off when a person is near...

Cheers Oasis I've ordered a Honeywell G2 C044-01-PROX G2-44+

Custard, alot of people (myself included) have had problems with X10 systems. I tried to get one to work a year ago and wrote the system off. Even if you do successfully get it working you have delays. I'm planning a full dedicated Cat5 network for Idratek modules....since you've got the...

Thanks Oasis The GSM module seems to cost more than the control panel! I'm guessing that's due to a lack of demand for it....?

Hi, I'm due soon to start a renovation project and since I won't be staying there overnight I'd like to invest in a decent alarm to look after my property and it's contents (particularly my tools). Ideally a suitable alarm would have: GSM Module to send texts/calls to my phone...

You could Freecycle them: http://www.uk.freecycle.org/

Lots of options here: http://www.keene.co.uk/electronics/product.php?mycat=539&start=0&end=60 EDIT: Remember that you can only extend a stereo audio signal using HDMI/Cat5 adapters and you will still need a method to extend the IR signals back to the box so you can control the source...

Not necessarily....our Triton <something> 8.5kW shower had the same about 3 weeks ago. The landlord came round and was adamant it was the pressure relief valve. Taking the cover off the pressure relief valve is the last thing the water went through before going out towards the shower head. A...
