    How to connect LED drivers to 220v suply

    It's hard for me as a layperson to ensure that an electrician does a good job. Hard to know what I don't know. See below a pick of the wiring at the socket which to me (but I am possibly completely wrong) looks like the flex is grounded at the switch end, and it may be that the wires that you...

    How to connect LED drivers to 220v suply

    Thanks you! You're the first person to actually answer my question. I think it was done this way to conceal the 230v power feed for each of the shelves. I left the electrician to do this how he saw fit. He could have run 12v wires from the top to middle to bottom shelves to connect to the LEDs...

    How to connect LED drivers to 220v suply

    It's not a stud wall. it's an external wall. I'm not sure what you mean. All three wires are connected to one switch on opposite wall. Not sure about the junction box and what the electrician do or not do and why. Regarding how to wire the led to existing wiring, any suggestion would be...

As seen in the pic, I have two pairs and one single flexible (220v) connected to a lights switch to power the drivers. Can someone here have a wiring diagram that I can use to...

    Grinding chisles back into shape

    I have a few wrecked chisels and I'm wondering if they could be re-shaped to somehow grind the sharpe edge which is wrecked. It was used by its former owner to cut bricks :-0. I tried to use a course sharpening stone for that to no avail. I don't mind giving it to someone to do this for me but...

    Hiding the LED drivers for my floating shelfs

    I made and installed floating shelves from plywood laminate. The top and bottom ones are 2.4m long. The middle one is 2m long. Shelves are 43mm thick. I have 220v supply pre-installed per shelf. I'd like to hide the drivers in the wall or in the shelves but to still make them accessible enough...

    Honing my chisels

    Honing my chisels

    So the vaunt stone, is it a water stone or an oil stone? Does anyone know what the manufacturer recommends because there is no information about this on the ITS (Vaunt is an ITS own brand) website.

    Honing my chisels

    Thanks for looking into this. I am aware that water can be used with or without washing up liquid. From my limited knowledge, it is best to use water or mineral based lubricant. The questions is what works better?

    Honing my chisels

    The sharpening stones are new so haven't used them with anything. I bought the Axminster honing fluid to use with the diamond stones but can't find it so I thought I'd get the Trend equivalent for future use. Is this a better option to water and washing up liquid? If so, I won't use water the...

    Honing my chisels

    I have the Vaunt Diamond Sharpening Stone Double-Sided but annoyingly, i cant find the honing fluid. I'd like to sharpen my chisels to do a job tomorrow and local shops have the Honing fluid on next day delivery only. Can I use water and washing up liquid as a one off with my sharpening stone...
