For anyone that is interested: Phaseliner http://www.phaseliner.co.uk/ do a range of single silent dimmers, with a fixing kit for MK, crabtree, et al, grid system. And this place sells them: http://www.i-glow.co.uk/, they look ok, so think i might give them a go. Cheers!

Cheers plugwash, don't suppose you know who makes those? as i need one in black. Edited to say that they look like they are made by digitrac.

Ok, Im being a bit dense here, if i get a 2 way dimmer, i can obviously wire it to be always on. But if anyone knows of any single module grid dimmers that can cope with 300W then please point me in the appropriate direction!

Thanks breezer, Grid switches look like the way forward for a Tidy solution. I am not familiar with them however, and looking online, all the ones I have come across are push on/off, are there any available that do not switch as well? or could a standard one be modified to stop it switching...

Hi, What i want to be able to do is switch 2 150W lights independently, but be able to dim them together so they are always at the same brightness... I have been thinking about it for a while now and cant think of a 'tidy' way of doing it so thought i would ask and see if anyone has any...

like i said i wasn't going to do the connections. No how much are they?

No chance, have walls to build, walls to knock down, plumbing to do, almost 0 furniture ATM, otherwise it would get ruined.. shame we have to live here at the same time really :-/ So any min max depths for the trench? the one i dug outside was 18" deep IIRC.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! :-D

No hes jut highly recommended and very busy. I cant see how hanging a boiler on a wall, digging some trenches and laying some pipe in it so he can connect everything is at all dangerous. I wasn't going to back fill the trenches or even connect the T's... All i was asking was, could i use...

Thanks thats much more helpful, and what i am asking. I know it's not 'the gas board' but thats easier to type than wales and west utilities! :) and probably better understood by the majority. Wales and west utilities pipe is only protected from damage by the 5 meter trench i dug in my garden, i...

Thats funny as the gas board used 25mm MDPE to run my service, ill give them a bell and tell them they don't know what they are doing shall I? ...

Well thats what i thought, but http://www.vaillant.co.uk/Home/Products/High_efficiency_boilers/Combination/produkt_vaillant/ecoTEC_plus_combi.html says : * ecoTEC plus 837 - 12.0 - 28.0kW But the technical PDF does say 37kw, which is what i originally thought. Anyway, is it ok to run...

Hi, Ive just had a gas main installed, and the meter is due to be installed soon, I want to save some cash by running the pipe myself and then getting a corgi in to connect it up and commission my boiler, which i will be hanging and plumbing myself except for the gas & flue. Im...

Hi, While digging a trench at the front of my property for the gas service to be installed, I discovered a clay pipe (prob 4-5") which i think must be connected to the front drainpipe (the waste & water drains are at the rear of the house) This pipe is encased in concrete, except for the...

Thanks for the help masona. No instructions with my box unfortunately :(

Thanks for the Reply masona, I haven't installed it yet, so yet to cut the hole. I just want to make sure I have covered all my bases, and have everything ready. I was thinking of putting it 1 or 2 courses of brick below the window cill, and it has a lip so there would be less brick than...

Hi, I am going to install a flush electric meter box under my front window soon. Will I need to install a cavity tray, or will the one above the window, and the windowsill effectively do the same job? If I do have to install a cavity tray, then what is the best way of fitting it into...

Hi, Ok, thought I better post an update, I had the DNO out and got a quote of ~£350 to move the service head, as long as I dig a trench to intersect their supply on my property, and at that point make the hole about a meter square. I also have to supply and fit the flush meter box and...

One leaf is in the front room, the other is in an enclosed porch.

Hi, As Title, I have a flush mount consumer unit that is going to go in to the cavity wall in my porch, this wall was originally the external leaf, before a new front door was added by the previous owners. The opening required for the Consumer unit is : 480mm W * 230mm H * 106.5mm...
