They are apparently available rewirable with a strain relief, but I'm not sure where you can actually buy them. I used to work repairing appliances and items with strain relief boots the flex often used to break internally or the sheath split at the end of the boot rather than at the plug so...

I've not seen many electric clocks with winding holes in them... Here is the one I've had in the kitchen since I restored it in 2019

Or wire an electric clock into it!

Perhaps there is a faulty temperature sensor or a triac controlling the elements has failed short circuit. I've installed loads of these but not had any fail yet to need to do any fault finding.

I think this fitting is fully enclosed, but some open type GU10 fittings you can replace the lamp from the loft space above if it is accessible, to save damaging the decorations.

Is that on Big Clives bench??

That's the only one I've ever seen in the 23 years I've worked as an electrician. (I've seen the little 2 way 'extenso' extension boards that of course don't have a main switch but never a full sized one) It's not modified, there was no hole in the cover for a switch.

What about Wylex boards without a main switch? :)

I'd be more concerned with having the electrical installation inspected and tested rather than fitting different light fittings. Not sure I've ever seen cable with only red and white cores, except for speaker cables.

Another vote here for stainless steel conduit.

The cable entry holes are a lot smaller on the 30A ways though.

They've been about for decades! Not the most professional solution, but Ideal for DIY or a quick swap.

They are OK. I've come across many without issues.

What are you going to do when appliance testing time comes and the unit is failed for not meeting the required standards?

Why not, decent inline fans offer superior airflow through the same size duct, reduced sound levels and a longer duct run will cause additional restriction from backdraft compared to a 1' pipe through the wall. One of the first jobs I did when I moved into my current house.

Post a photo and the model number of the new switch. Something doesn't look right there.

Too late now, but we always try to avoid wall fans where possible. High quality in-line fans are more powerful and a lot quieter/ no back draughts etc.

Looks like AI generated nonsense to me.

Probably not great to drink from it. You can buy kettles that heat water with mains into 2 stainless steel strips. I did it with mains and 2 tea spoons a few years ago, I probably drank it at the time but don't remember any specific taste. I wonder if that's why I'm going bald...

Loads still in use! Don't forget electrode boilers either, often 3 phase!
