It is a Chinese plug, not an Australian plug. The Chinese now use the same style of plug as Australia/New Zealand (with minor differences in the dimensions) but they have not seen fit to utilize Half-Insulated Line and Neutral Pins. (Argentina also uses the same type of plug but their the Line...

However, they do make Intermediate Switches and fit them to Wall-Plates of several antique brass styles. e. g. https://gandhelectrical.co.uk/products/finishes/brass/antique-brass/victorian?type=switch https://gandhelectrical.co.uk/products/finishes/brass/antique-brass/contour Have you asked if...

Since JohnD is in the Cook Islands, he has access to Australian/New Zealand Switches and Socket-Outlets - and related products. The fully insulated Face-Plates and screws of these devices do not require Earthing and there is no Earth connection possible, except to the Earth Pin of the...

4.7uF 400V capacitors are readily available.

Why would you do such a thing? What are you hoping to achieve by that? A fluorescent fitting could be replaced by a LED Panel - of similar size and equal (or greater) luminosity.

As The device is a Charge Point not a Charger - which is in the Vehicle. Leave it where it is and get a new one when you move.

The First Diagram illustrates a probable existing switching arrangement. You could just remove the First (or Last) 2-Way switch and leave the Intermediate switch acting as a 2-way (Second Diagram) If you wish to move one 2-Way switch (and remove the Intermediate switch), the wiring will be as...

Again, that is your opinion - and I did not suggest Dual PAR 38s - pointing down a "ginnel" - which is a new word that I have learned.

If this is a Ceiling light and NOT a Mirror light (working from a Transformer), it is likely that that is where you have a loose (Line or Neutral) connection, which is heat sensitive OR the connection at any such Transformer is where the fault is located.

You have but few posts and your questions indicate that you may have little experience in this area. (Sorry) LED strip-lights are designed to work on a certain DC Voltage. (12 V or 24 V - usually.) If you reduce this Supply Voltage (via a dimmer) they will dim. The description on the device...

Really? (Many are still available, judging from https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=par38+led&crid=2RGD17YJK1AD0&sprefix=par38+led+,aps,357&tag=diynotcom-21&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 ) Beauty (or ugliness) is in the eye of the beholder! Why would you consider that the PAR 38 Flood Light on the Right looks...

As EFLImpudence amended See https://flameport.com/electric/lighting_circuits/lighting_ceiling_rose.cs4 The BLUE Wire from the Switch is the Switched Line (NOT NEUTRAL) and should be identified with Brown tubing.

The reliability of UK Socket-Outlets seems often to come-up on this site! Being in Australia, I have no experience with UK socket-outlets. However, we have (basically) only two choices of socket-outlets in this country - Clipsal (a Schneider Company) and HPM (a Legrand Company). My...

A PAR 38 LED Lamp (e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=par38+led&crid=2RGD17YJK1AD0&sprefix=par38+led+,aps,357&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 ) (Pick one with a narrow beam angle) mounted in a Swivel Lamp Holder and Base. (e. g...

"A sconce or wall light is a decorative light fixture that is mounted to a wall." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sconce_(light_fixture)#:~:text=A sconce or wall light,lobby of a luxury hotel ) That which you appear to have are Pendants.

Thank you. However, it is just a case of "Seek and ye shall find." Many US Citizens appear to think that the US changed Imperial measures to US Customary - for some reason - little knowing that they are just the Pre-Revolutionary BRITISH measures. On a somewhat related topic, did you know...

Well, NO. They still use the BRITISH measurement system which was in use in 1776. - Winchester Measures - and now call them US Customary Measures. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_measure ) When the UK (and its Colonies) changed to Imperial Measures in 1826 the US did not change...

Radial Circuits are almost universal - everywhere. It is the Ring Circuits which are peculiar to the UK, ex British Colonies - and Saudi Arabia ! Elsewhere, they are (mostly) not allowed. To extend this story a bit further, Australia based its Electrical Regulations largely on those of the UK...

Except that the Video ought to refer to two-way and intermediate/crossover switches, for the benefit for those who actually realize that a SPDT switch is two-way switch - not three-way - (although it has three terminals - as do most UK switches) and an Intermediate/Crossover switch is a...

Use the "Ohms Scale" on the multimeter (which you must have) to check the connections between each of the four terminals when the Intermediate/Crossover switch is in either of its TWO positions.
