OK. But why not just use a spur to create a new socket and then simply plug the transformer cable into it?Less restrictive for future.
I wish to install some LEDs under the kitchen wall cabinets to give a working light on the worktops (ie not just an ambient illumination.) and was...
True, and "me bad", but I am where I am and more worktop is not an option. It's a 3m run.
Help, please. Having misjudged and miss-cut a kitchen worktop when the surrounding walls were not at right angles, I have a tapered gap on both...
I have a 6.1 Kw double oven on a cooker outlet served by a dedicated 32A MCB circuit and wish to fit a 1200Watt microwave. above it. Can I add a...
Thanks to both---my oven is working (based on the acquisition of a replacement stat) and my mind is settled (based on the acquisition of knowledge).
Perhaps this should be in the appliance section but it is to help my understanding rather than a practical question. My oven case cooling fan...
Thanks for all the input. Just to confound things, when I started to check the existing stuff, it turns out that one of the lights is looped at...
It's all one circuit, o no chance of borrowed neutrals, thanks. Yes, it would be 3 cables of 2+e and I am OK with the layout, so long as it is an...
Thanks for the quick reply. Brown it will be and the identifiers are a wise idea. Would that circuit diagram, though, be only economically...
I have two separate one way switched lights in a large garage, with switches on opposite walls and intend to convert each to 2way operation for...
Thew "trick" is the same as for fitting the last row against a wall. The locking lip has to be pared off. (Not the whole tongue but just the "lip"...
PS. When he calls to get his estimate for lining the walls, it would be a good idea to have someone (not family) with you, who could keep a note...
Could you please clarify whether you have actually handed over the payment. Your tactics will need to be different, depending on that. Further...
Well to bring thread back on topic, Thanks all, I have added a 5amp FSU, connected from the socket with 2.5mm and on to the switch & light in 1.5mm.
Many thanks both. No wonder I went off at a tangent whilst trying to fault find logically! That cut cable end was not an obvious first port of call.
My consumer unit has three circuits (up & down sockets & garage) protected by an RCD and all other circuits (including appliance sockets circuit &...
Don't forget the risk assessment and sucking teeth before costing. Or minimise the cost and become skilled yourself with a cheese wire. NB for...
OMG. A DIY forum that considers changing a fuse wire beyond the fast learning abilities for someone who can use the internet.
All upstairs and 2 individual downstairs lights sounds like one circuit. So one of the fuses is the likely problem. If you don't know which is...
