Mira are much better showers than Triton.. and Triton are much better than Gainsborough and Gainsborough are much better than Creda IMHO..

One point to note... there is usually not enough room behind an integrated appliance for even a flushed in socket and plug!

http://www.powerlite-lighting.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=91 are blinking good fittings... they do them in HID and Halogen and they last much longer that the cheap shed ones

I've fitted a few of these. they should just plug straight in.... from the looks of it your's are incompatable. I'd say take them back and get one that is or just get a refund.

No problem, glad you've sorted it! :D

I think some boilers won't work with reversed polarity?!?! I think they might reference to earth on the PCB

As above... you are not going to get much for £60-£80 just had a look at a well known sheds website and you can get a Triton for that money, I guess you could also get a Gainsbrough also.. If you can push your budget to £120 you could get a Mira, but don't get a Creda... I've seen better...

Swap L1 & L3 On your old switch you had a C, L1 & L2.. this is now L1, L2 & L3 respectively on the new switch

Good to see that you have it sorted now.. and I can't see that anyone is going to "have a go" at you for changing some fuse wire!

You'll probably have to change your plans... Typically in a house any burried cables @<50mm will require RCD protection.. there are exemptions if you are using earth metalic protection or cables incorporating an earthed metalic sheath (flexishield)... but I gues you are using T&E in at most...

They do give you a laminated card with some of the most common program codes.

TBH it doesn't work quite like that... Lets say you have already tested the items already and have reloded the data back into the tester, when you scan the asset barcode/tag all it does is enter that number into the field that you have scanned it into, it does not set the meter up with the...

jj4091 to clarify. c)add RCD protection in a seperate encosure adjacent to your CU for the affected circuits meaning install RCD protection directly after the fuse (or MCB), not in the tails

You may need to phone your buildings maintenance company for the electric company to gain access to the meter room!

It's not a NICEIC reg it's a IET reg.. namely BS7671:2008 the reg that you are refering to is about burried cables <50mm without mechanical protection --- they are required to have RCD protection! SO any cable that your electrician worked on that is burried <50mm and isn't mechanically...

Do you pay a landlord for electric or an electric supplier?? If it's a landlord then you may have blown your submain fuse or main service fuse ---- ring your landlord If it's an electric supplier then you've more than likely blown your main service fuse ---- ring your electricity supplier...

I've got this one and don't find it too bad, although I don't do much PATing http://isswww.co.uk/Pat-Testers/Alphatek-Metrel/Alphatek-Alphapat-MI2142-Computerised-PAT-tester/?source=googleps And it comes within your £500 budget (+VAT)

Don't know how they work, but some brands will not work if there isn't an earth present at the switch.

Is it a touch dimmer... like a Varilight one?? If so then is you earth connected and continuous back to the CU / MET?

Here's a link to the ESC best practice guides... http://www.niceic.com/contractor/downloads/best-practice-guides there is one on CU changes with lighting having no earth
