I found the EIC which says it’s a ring

Thanks all. Thanks harry. I’m quietly confident it’s not a spur in itself as it’s just one of the standard room sockets from plan with nothing else added in that or the adjacent room. Having lived here since new I know no one else has been tinkering. I agree though, can’t be too careful, I’ll...

Hi all, I live in a 2022 new build and I’m planning on adding a double socket from spurring an existing double socket on the ring main in the adjacent room using 2.5mm T&E. The wall is a partition stud wall which is insulated. The new socket will be installed higher up the wall in the adjacent...

Any thoughts on the below to have a sonoff relay to control each light independantly. I wouldn't get both in the back box so wondering if I can wire the second above the light in a wago box?

Cheers mate!

Apologies. Left gang: COM: Live from previous room & Live to next room L1: SL to existing pendant light Neutrals all in wago within the switch

Apologies, its the Sonoff Mini R4M - mislabeled in the diagram

Evening all, I live in a new build where the lighting is wired using the 2 plate method. Im looking to add two pendant lights either side of my bed. Currently there is a 1 gang 1 way switch to an existing pendant light in the centre of the room. At the switch there is a feed in, feed out to...

Thanks for your suggestions Eric. I've considered smart bulbs/plugs/sockets as I've got a comprehensive smart system and routines through alexa inside the house. For the driveway though, I wanted to keep it as simple as motion detected = lights on for 1 minute or so. I don't plan on having them...

My apologies, updated.

Good Afternoon All, My existing PIR floodlight has failed and I am looking to replace it with some additional upgrades The PIR on the floodlight didn't do a great job at picking up motion and I could often walk right up to it before it would detect movement. It wouldn't detect when I drove my...

Just posting back to report that I followed your advice and successfully installed both thermostats working perfectly! So big thanks for your help mate. The hardest part was accessing the wiring centre which I assume has been incorrectly placed directly behind the zone valves. Squeezing the...

I was planning to redirect the brown and grey wires from the old stats directly into T1 and T2, leaving the blacks unused. Is that incorrect?

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed response Stem. I’m just looking to clarify, Are you saying that rather than adding two new lengths of cable from the blue and grey connections from the zone valves to the Heatlink L & N, I should take the grey and brown from the TPOne...

Hi all, I’ve read many threads on many forums trying to piece together how my system should be wired but I’m looking for guidance from those more knowledgeable than I. I have a new build with a Logic ESP1 35 Combi Boiler working with 2 Danfoss TPOne-M thermostats on a 2 zone valve system -...

Thanks fellas. I’ll do that so it’ll look like this;

Thanks Terry - really appreciate the help. currently, no, the sockets are only used for a lawnmower. Would there be any difference going from the existing FCU into another FCU rather than the socket? Reason being it’s much closer to the security light and would save me buying more cable.

Yeah just one double socket. The OCP is a 16a MCB at the consumer unit cable from house to FCU I believe is 2.5mm T&E (apologies garage is not connected to go check) cable from FCU to double socket is 2.5mm T&E. They also used 2.5mm T&E from FCU to light.

Hi Terry, thanks for your reply. Yes the garage is RCD protected at the consumer unit in the house. The existing light is fed and switched on/off by the switched FCU with a 3amp fuse. The socket is fed from the supply side of the FCU and not fused. I can’t go from the load side of the FCU as...

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice regarding the best way to wire a 54W PIR floodlight to my garage. I have used the floodlights pre installed 1m of cable to enter the garage and added 1.0mm T&E cable via a choc bloc inside an in-line connector box. The garage is powered from a radial coming...
