Ericmark, so to use them as a lining for a homemade pizza oven or even better for slow roasting joints seems feasible

Thanks TTC, I had worked on the basis they are only 4 years old so would be asbestos free. They are all dimplex XLN's, so not on the list anyway. DOH!

I apologise up front for this question as its not strictly electrical. I am about to remove 7 storage heaters. although I am offering them for sale, ebay does not seem to sell many. So in the interest of upcycling :shock: can I use the bricks as lining for a wood oven in the garden, should I...

Thanks all. Looks like I will have to get the chemi lav ready just in case.

Hi I am about to order a bathroom suite which comes with a close coupled toilet. My waste pipe for the toilet comes out of the floor. The picture for the toilet shows the waste connection through the wall. Unfortunately there are no measurements anywhere for me to know if I can connect the...

Thanks All

THanks PJ That was my first thought but I just wanted to check others experience.

What Happens, I have never had an LED go yet but I just received a call from someone with 4 led's on a two way switch and all 4 have gone out. She says that when she switches the switch (either one) on the lights come on for a fraction of a second then go out. No tripping at the fuse box or...

When you replaced the bulbs what were the pins like, very thin or like a rounded t shape. If thin then v likely to be a 12v. The transformer is usually an oblong box with writing on it stating its power rating amongst other things. Why do they blow , because they can. Often you can find where...

Out of interest who gets the final blame if something goes wrong, the installer or manufacturer. I am about to fit a 14.1kw ceramic hob range cooker. I enquired of the manufacturer what breaker and cable connections they require. I stated that according to my calcs I could use 6mm with a 32A...

After a recent visit from a plumber (i think more odd job man) my friends have been told that all their piping , hot water, central heating needs to be changed because its plastic and therefore dangerous, Is this true are there any rules and regs where plastic piping can or cant be used in a...

Yes i do, but i am so pleased with the lights that i was going to put them in the kitchen and had hoped to save on tx's mind you i might go GU10 here and hopefully not get the same issue. In answer to BernardG yes they are minimum load now zero -60. I might try a single tx 20-60W see if that...

Hi, firstly thanks to all for the replies. RF I will get one of those and try it. But what i still cant get my head around is why its doing it now. From the start the transformers have been the same 4 x 0-60W electronic and as it turned out 1 x 20- 60W. So first config 5 x 50W halogens each...

Yes i believe so. The LEDs are sold as direct replacements for existing installations, yeah i know dont laugh. But they work perfectly except for jamming the digital radio station. They did work fine with 5 transformers ie one to each light but i reduced this so that i could save on the tranies...

When you say running off ? they are on the lighting ciruit with a 0-60w transformer/inverter. The Radios are on a socket ring final. One radio in the bedroom one in the kitchen each about 30 foot away from the bathroom where the lights are. TV is not affected, sky box not affected wireless not...

Just replaced my 5 MR16 Downlights in the bathroom with 5 MR16 LED's Briiliant so far 250 watts down to 20, 5 transformers down to 2 (for security), lovely warm light very happy BUT every time i turn them on my DAB radio loses all signal. :evil: It doesnt crackle it just stops dead. Instant...

I agree re the 2391 qualification as a good start point. i also agree that the competant scheme lists are not necessarily a good place to go. An example from yesterday. I went to a property to carry out PAT certification. The property had had an EICR carried out last month by a registered...

Yes agreed. I had hoped that the manufacturers of the grid dimmers had caught up with what appears to be a growing market demand. As others have said i will do a bit of trial and error. Just hope i dont blow too many (ie more than 0) £7 + lamp in the trials :evil:

I posted earlier asking if anyone new of a grid system LED Dimmer. Thanks to those that tried to help. An update MK dont do a grid dimmer for LED yet. Crabtree say their dimmers will work with LED even though the catalogue says 40-250w or 400w so a possibility. Richmonds' will only...

Thanks, i looked at this and was put off by the term specifically designed to work with LEDlite LED. I sassumed this was a particular brand and it isnt the ones i have. I also wasnt sure about the Ultimate Grid reference. I have no idea which supplier made the grid plate i have. Looking at the...
