Thanks fir you're help guys, found a couple of transformers in the ceiling and once took them out of the circuit it started working. Cheers Graham

Hi, manged to have a rummage around in the ceiling and pulled 2 transformers. 1 for the light the small beigh one wh8ch is wired to a big white one for the fan which looks to be linked to the mains. Pictures attached. I assume I get rid of both of these and just use the big wire that goes into...

Cool, thanks guys. Didn't occur to me that there would be a difference in voltage. Don't know what's above the ceiling, it's inaccessible as its all boxed off and is only accessible through the hole in the ceiling where the extractor fan was. I'll have a route around, hopefully this transformer...

Hi all. My bathroom extractor stopped working. It had an inbuilt light which worked but the fan itself doesn't. I have bought a direct replacement. 2 connection for the light and 3 for the fan, L,LN & N. When I took the old fan out I had 2 white wires connected to the light and 2 black wires...

Well thank you guys. I actually feel like a bit of an idiot but it worked. In my defence it did look and feel like it was one piece as tried uncrewing it before and it wouldnt budge. After your advice thought Id give it one last try with a rubber band round it to get some traction and it fell...

I assume the wires are cinnected to the white fitting inside the light fitting. I just cant get the black plastic bulb holder out to get to them.

There is but Ive unscrewed that so its jut the wires that are connected.

Hi Does anyone know how I get the black plastic bulb holder out of a light without breaking it? It seems alot harder than it ought to be as its loose and doesnt appear to be attached to anything within the casing.

Thanks for your advice guys. Not the answer I wanted to hear as gonna be alot more expensive but I guess it is what it is. Cheers Graham

Thanks in advance for any reply. You woukd be a great help

Hi Wanting to fit a 15mm retro fit underfloor heating kit into a room that already has existing wall radiators on 15mm pipes. Can I fit the underfloor heating kit directly onto the existing radiator pipes? Was thinking of using this kit which looks like has everything I woukd need-...

Thanks opps. It was more the pitfalls of mixing two dyes together that worried me. I realise then pouring that into varnish is just being lazy but thought I'd ask anyways. Will prob just mix the two dyes together then stick a clear varnish on top.

Hi No sure if this is a good idea to save time but has anybody tried pouring Wood dye into varnish? We are struggling to get the floor colour we want as most turn out to be too yellow or too orange so wondered if anyone has tried mixing 2 wood stains together? Could you then just pour the...

Thanks for that advice. I weren't going to take up the existing floor tho or relay a new one on top of the existing floor boards which I'm going to sand and varnish but I get the gist, Don't use spray foam on the underside. Would stapling SuperQuilt Multi-Layer Reflective Foil Insulation to the...

Hi I took my carpet up and I am in the process of sending my floor boards but the room is noticeably colder. There is a draft coming up through the floor boards and I have a decent sized crawl space to put some kind of insulation under there. I was thinking easiest would de just get under there...

Hi all. In case your interested it was the dimmer that had blown. All working now. Thanks for all your help.

Yeah. It did unfortunately. Guess that's another wiring job that could possibly go wrong. Tho I'll make sure I record what wires go where this time. Mind might possibly be on here again in a few days.

Not not touched the actual dimmer switch at. It worked perfectly fine with the old light so assumed it was my faulty wiring. It appears however that it may be the dimmer which may not be LED compatible.

Yeah, have done that, albeit by accident and the lights were on permanently so at least I know the power connection is good.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I was just giving as much info as possible re number of wires. It is an older dimmer switch so it could be the dimmer switch. Tho I did get the light to work but they were permanently on so I assumed that bypassed the dimmer altogether. Will try a new dimmer if you...
