Not entirely true, i remember being able to buy BT or 'Telecom' as they were branded then, phone extension kits with the 'T' logo on the sockets, i fitted a fair few of them myself (i feel old now).

Are you absolutely sure your buying the right wattage tube as you can get the large ones in two wattages, 40 and 60watts. Read what it says on the ballast and make sure it's the right wattage your using, same goes for the starter too.

Mine used to do exactly the same, changed the switch and it solved the problem. No reason electrically why it would trip the RCD but it did, gremlins!

I know its a late reply but if your still looking for a wireless solution for the garage camera then i can highly recommend one of these: http://www.alertelectrical.com/prod/4088/ez-wf-ez-wf-wirefree-video-signal-link I've just bought one to link up one of my cameras and its superb, its...

I agree with plugwash, the TV's in the show house may have been connected to screen some sort of presentation for the developer from a central source in another show house or the site sales office? We moved into an ex show house years ago and it was wired up for speakers in every room that...

We have them dotted around the older parts of our buildings at work, most are unused but I've seen some used as the power source for various things....wall mounted powered speakers, data projector, wall mounted tv, the one in our office gets used for the Christmas tree lights lol!

Just install a 32amp and 16amp socket on separate circuits next to each other, your covered all ways then, simples :)

Can you post a pic? Sounds like what you’re thinking is the meter may be the eco7 timer/teleswitch and the rectangle was the actual meter? Whatever may be missing you need to contact a supplier to arrange for a new connection, you shouldn’t need to involve the DNO if a supply is already...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies, sorta confirmed what i was thinking that being as 100volts could be present then double insulated it should be. Chri5 - The cabling is mostly in tray/basket and then just bobs across the false ceiling to each speaker from this. Bernard - Thanks for the...

Hi guys, apologies if this should be in the audio visual section but it's more an electrical question really. To cut a long story short we are having extension and refurbishments works at my workplace, I'm responsible for the IT systems etc. including the speaker PA system, the contractors have...

No probs, let us know how you get on :)

Most likely one of the bulbs has blown and its killed the dimmer switch, if you dont need it just replace with a normal two way switch.

Hang on a sec you said something i want to clarify, how many RED/BLACK cables do you have at the light, two red and two black or one of each?

Probably supply to next door, quite common in terraced and semi-detatched properties. Looks a bit rough though and is that exposed copper at the top of the fuse on the far left? (dont touch it). If it were me i'd get the DNO out to give it the once over.

Sounds like you've made the classic mistake of wiring the light switch accross the live & neautral causing a dead short. How did you wire the lights up when you replaced them, did you just wire all reds/browns to live and all blacks/blues to neautral ?

What about if you just connect the tv in the kitchen directly to the sky box, does everything work ok then? If it does then it's looking like your 50" is defunct :(

Your lights don't work as they are each connected one after the other from the fuse box, the one you are changing is probably the first on the circuit which is why none of the others work, they will not work until you reconnect the wiring to the new fitting.

If the transformer is under the floorboards and cant be accessed how were you able to give us its model number?

Those transformers are not submersible, can you give a bit more detail how you have installed the lights and transformers?

Hi Guys, I’ve been looking into tenement buildings in Scotland more out of curiosity than anything else and it’s thrown up some useful information. In Scotland there is a "Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004" which covers who is responsible for things such as communal areas etc. apologies to anyone...
