This sounds like the feed (which is usually daisy chained from one room to the other via the ceiling rose/light fittings) has a loose connection at the fitting in the room before it feeds the bathroom. This situation case cause fires in some circumstances so get it looked at ASAP...

WillMu, without a good understanding of the technical terms (the technical parameters) which are well understood and must be well understood by all electrical engineers/competent people, then you are working in an unsafe manner if you work on your consumer unit/modify your consumer unit. That...

Spark123, that legrand picture looks like a set of dodgy dentures :)

The busbar does count as part of the consumer unit which will have been designed/manufactured to meet BS/EN standards. If you modify it then you would be liable for its performance and you would need to certify it. Since you have certified (or had certified) one of the circuits then you...

Sure they are GU10? Maybe (just maybe) they are 12 volt lamps and the transformer/driver has failed. Some 12 volt lighting arrangements use a single transformer while others use one transformer per light (and almost anything in between) Have a really good look at your lamp and see what...

Or the B&Q (tradepoint) sheds have small diamter LED kits with all the connectors/drivers etc......

Hope its ok to name a company (I have no affiliation with them, just use thier products a lot) Try: www.cubelighting.com I have fitted lots of the diode 90s (they are roughly the diameter you want) as down and up lighters. To be fair they are quite bright but you could use a non-constant...

Cross Sectional Area (CSA) is the usual way to quote the size of conductors in electrical wiring. What CSA did you replace the existing wire with? Most MCBs are designed/manufactured to fit only a specific make (sometimes a specific model) of consumer unit. You should not tamper with...

Differential Switch/Differential Isolator is a common (and slang) term in S/E Asia for what we call an RCD.

I have been using them too. Saved me lots of time and have proven to offer really good (low resistance/secure) connections. I also use them as temporary connections for inspection/test.. R1+R2 / cross connecting for ring final testing etc.. I know of three size boxes 75, 240 and 690. I...

Personally I think you would be better off with surface mount trunking in the cupboard. If you do a good job of securing both the junction boxes and trunking to the wall then risk of damage is minimal. It would be a percatly acceptabe installation and easy access for...

That sounds like quite a profitable quote.....but not for you :) You do need to choose recessed light for bathrooms carefully. Considerations: Maintain current fire, noise transmission integrity of ceiling. In any case, I would use fire rated downlights (they do not stop the lamps...

Sorry, internet slow this evening resulting in me double posting.. This may help http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/sp-42-10233-38808-ring-nightbrite-ixia-180-degree-pir-floodlight-with-led%27s.asp It is worth looking up Part L of the building regs. There are regulations for external...

This may help http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/sp-42-10233-38808-ring-nightbrite-ixia-180-degree-pir-floodlight-with-led%27s.asp It is worth looking up Part L of the building regs. There are regulations for external lighting but require careful reading/interpretation.

I often use the following: HEP LIVC41-UNI CONSTANT CURRENT 350ma DRIVER Available from EDIT (NOT SURE IF I AM ALLOWED TO STATE A COMPANY NAME ON THE FORUM) so if you google for cube lighting with that part number then you will find the company. Dimensions (MM) 50X35X20 so they fit...

Dr Dolittle, learning how to speak to the animals....... :twisted:

Do a search for “constant current LED drivers” and you will see what you need. You will need one that will support 3 LEDs which is quite common. The driver must be located in a position where it can be inspected/replaced in the future and not covered in thermal insulation or anything similar...

The shower sounds reasonably ok but are you saying you have a lighting circuit protected (unprotected) by a 45 amp CB? that sounds more like a final circuit to me than a sub-main. A sub-main usually feeds a distribution board which then feeds final circuits. The shower sounds...

The chances are that the existing socket (I am assuming it is an existing socket) you plan to plug the small storage heater into will not be on the off-peak circuit so the new storage heater will charge during the day at the standard tariff. You may be better off just buying a good quality...

Still up? what time is curfew for ASBOs in Zaire ?
