Edit - Ignore, it wouldn't work as you said. I think you could make the Quickwire work. If you use the sL terminals for your live and L for your...
Oh FFS: He/She/They were sold a 2 pole switch instead of a 2 way. I read this this morning but was afraid BAS or winston would reply.
Good. Bugger.. I was hopeful, but not so now. As you currently have 2 permanent lives going to the switch from the same circuit, and your new...
There may be another option. But it depends.. Are both lights on the same circuit? That is, are they both isolated by the same circuit...
Yes, that'll work. I would move the earth from the backbox to the faceplate terminal and add a link from it back to the backbox.
Hi, not so easy to tell how it was before or after from your description, but 8/10 for trying to draw/sketch it out. Can you confirm (yes/no)...
My smart lights are Phillips Hue, and after a power cut they default to all on (which is annoying). Never had them turn off without reason though.
4mm would do from your description, but nobody knows your future plans. I'm fairly sure no electrician will laugh at you if you run a 6 or 10mm...
The one linked above states "Large terminal capacity (3 x 2.5mm2) – suitable for direct wiring to ring main." so yes is the answer to that. I do...
[ATTACH] I'm going to presume the chock block only has a neutral to the fitting and the CPC that looks like it's in with the blue wires goes...
Yeah, that switch is never going to work. Have you researched Hue, or the others where the clever bit is just in the bulb? Your old switch will...
Seriously? Not sure why it should have an overload but set it 1 (plus a tweak) Amps and move on.
He's not the only one. Easily done I know. Glad we all seem to have got the same point across! Not having a dig at anyone BTW.
If I was you NBee, I'd ask https://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/ again for clarification. It's fairly obvious to me that nobody except them can touch...
Ha, it's even harder to work out abilities than you think. Ditch the Volt pen. Then get your multimeter and work out which setting makes a...
Mi Mark, welcome. Can you first confirm that your original post, with super pictures BTW was after you had put up a new ceiling rose? And your...
Yes, before the new plaster is plastered, maybe? I'm not a good plasterer or a good decorator, but before plastering a bare wall it would always...
All the image links to postimg.org need to be changed to either postimg.cc or postimage.org
I knew what I meant. :-)
I'd let them know at least. If it isn't needed then it should have been taken out at the time, not left hanging around. I'd point out that it...
