this is what's wrong. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/VL1000.html that is the only 1000w dimmer they have. Take for example my kitchen, quite a big kitchen. I have a 4 gang light switch. now i cannot find anywhere where by the dimmers are rated high enough for my needs. Even getting a...

ok so if i had 300w of GU10's then i need a dimmer rating of 600W. If that is correct you know my next question. Do they do dimmers that are rated over 1000W i.e. dimmers 1500W. Please point me in that direction

Hi all. Just needing to know how to rate dimmers. Say you have 300W of GU10's and you want to be able to dim them using a dimmer, i know that you have to have specific rated dimmers and i've read somewhere that there is a calculation for working it out. I also have 500W of GU10's that i need...

It's a new extension, so it needs plasterboarding all out, neatness to me means no wires, no pipes nothing just neatness. If it is not allowed to be buried then, can i use choc blocks and just have them out of the wall, this wouldn't be seen at all and you would be able to have full access to...

No that's what i though breezer, you would ned access to it. So in this instance is it possible to extend the cable by the use of a choc block so that i can sort out the problem? Are choc blocks allowed to be buried or not, do they have to be taped with elctrical insulation tape

thanks for that comment. Is it possible for you to clarify why a junction box opposed to choc blocks. I take it they can carry the current. The cabinets are not actually in and the junction box would need to be buried.

I decided to put the wires for the lighting in the kitchen. I have 2 questions. 1) are there under cabinet lights on the market that can be wired in, as this is how i have planned it. Most of the ones that i have seen have these link cables. So i need a under cabinet light that can receive...

I've just sent all my pics to [email protected] hopefully they will put them on the server, but for me it's a long drawn out deal. Have we heard anything from diydick yet as to whether we can have his pics

Yes exactly... I see what you are saying. I still think that we should have our own secure image uploading area though. I've noticed a few people drawing thier own images, i've even done a couple, within a short space of time we would have quite a few images and they would be here to stay...

It didn't look to me that any of the images were copied, nor did i see a disclaimer to this effect. i take your point though we do have to be careful. Some of the diagrams that i have probably haven't been seen before, some probably have.

My first point to raise is the need for a local secure server to place our images on. I.E something for members. We have now seen and indeed have learned the lesson of relying on others. Some of us still use image hosting servers and services of this kind. Others use their own servers and...

I agree if anything they act as place holders for the images. We need them.

but i thought that it was 2005 when you had to change over to using it in houses etc

very good.... Mrs andemz hasn't a clue... just do it is the message....

Seen the unharmonised cable in a well known store today. Infact there was no harmonised cable in the store at all. I wouldn't buy from there any too expensive. i asked a bloke on the department and he said that they got the old cable at the right price he had been told and that's why they were...

Yeah though as much. I've just put 5 x 50 watts in a large bedroom that we have. I'll just have to calculate the wattage and have mains ones instead. The Gu10's are really nice. Just out of interest how do you position downlighters in a room. In the bedroom we have set a downlighter in each...

Just a question. I went and had a look at some low voltage downlighters today at a well known store. One problem the wire lengths on the cables are not long enough in between each connector. There is only a distance of probably 1 meter between lights. If you wanted 1 in each corner of the...

sorry thinking of my drums for a moment... You could even call it .pl if you want... no techy at all don't get me wrong.... but having said that i do know a bit about web design. I think you'll find if you know a bit about web design that the problem in this instance lies in the...

i don't think you should be put off. You obviously have the intelligence to be able to do it. You obviously have the ability to learn. Don't let electricians kid you... they earn good money and have excellent lighting in their own homes ha ha. I think that if you can spare a few more years of...

yes i've noticed mywatergarden.... with clear security faults that any half decent hacker could wander right on in there and have a real good look around. It is the cgi aspect where there is a problem common gateway interface with the use of the pearl scripts
