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.

Just install PAR38 LEDs in appropriate ES Fittings (See https://www.amazon.com.au/par38-led/s?k=par38+led )

I strongly suggest that you try one or two.. Here is an extract from an information piece Filament LEDs. First patented in 2008, but developed largely since 2015, are “Filament LEDs”. The LED “filament” consists of multiple series-connected LEDs on a transparent substrate, A benefit of the...

The center contact of an ES socket should be connected to the Line.

Unless it is a LED filament lamp, which has the control equipment in the base. The base and any full sized ES holder acts as a heat-sink.

There are also 5 V USB versions. If you look at this site for a start (and go on from there) you should be able to obtain most of the items which you seek. https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-led-strip-kit.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.auto_suggest.1.3e3eTi5YTi5Yiy The Current/Wattage is usually...

Use rechargeable batteries !

I don't know about you but I cook most of the vegetables in the microwave - in minutes. Stove top used mainly for Frying or Boiling Pasta.

Spuggy Since you ran a cable from the switch to the outside light, can you get a 2 core/earth from a Box, Switch or Ceiling Light Rose where there is Line, Neutral and Ground, to that Switch Point. (You may not have a Line at that switch, either. The connection on the Common terminal may be...

In the UK and North America, it seems to be the PRACTICE to state a "Wattage", which is actually the Wattage of an Incandescent Lamp of equivalent Brightness. In other words - an Incandescent Wattage Equivalent - although the word Equivalent is often omitted - or in very small type.

You mean 4000 K - which is a WHITE Colour Temperature. 5000 K would be Cool White 6000 K would be Daylight 3000 K would be Warm White 800 Lumens is approximately the brightness of an efficient 60 W Incandescent Lamp.

4000 K is now my preferred Colour Temperature. 2700 K (to me) is a Sickly Yellow 3000 K is just OK - sometimes.

Maestro Plug-In ceiling roses have been Discontinued. However, this site https://www.fusionelectricalsupplies.com/index.php/cable-accessories/ceiling-maestro.html claims to have at least one In Stock.

IMHO the best Floodlight fitting is one that uses one, or more, PAR38 LEDs, which are easily replaced (See https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=par38+led&crid=T6EUFOK5HF1L&sprefix=par38+led,aps,342&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 ) If you require it to be activated by a Sensor you will need to install a separate...

Unless you REALLY want a shiny metal fitting in lieu of plastic, you really don't NEED to. See

Those brackets may be adjustable. However, the bracket above could do with replacement - by a properly constructed bracket.

scouse49 - Please confirm that there are Three separate lights, controlled by the Three switches concerned. If so, and, since there are Four Red wires at the Two-Gang switch(es), ONE of those Red wires will be incoming Line ONE will be outgoing Line (to the other Single switch) and the other...
