Ironically I edited it due to information I then checked on the IEE website after posting that I thought it was notifiable. :oops:

Sorry i edited my post after you replyed.

It is not excluded from part p but if the question is 'Is it notifiable work' then the answer is no if it like for like.

The most common type of energy efficient light bulbs are the screw-in type. You can use them almost anywhere. There are the triple tube type and spiral types which fit in almost any socket. You can replace up to a 150 watt incandescent light with a 32 watt energy efficient light bulb! We also...

Admittedly it may be harder as the ballast is normally built in but all flouro's are energy saving.

Sorry to have to disagree but I lifted this Yes! You Can Dim Fluorescent Lighting! Lutron's been doing it for over 25 years! Off this website www.lutron.com/product_technical/fluorescent.htm

You need to measure the earth loop impedance (Zs) at that point and cross check in the regs that it is within the stated Zs figure for your mcb type.

I suspect that if it is like the shower I fitted yesterday it is 8.5KW at 230V and 9.5KW at 240V. As stated the voltage in most places still remains 240V and if it is reduced to 230V then the current (and power consumed in this case as the shower has a fixed resistance) goes down. The MCB...

Lighting is normally connected in a loop and is called 'Loop in' wiring. It is not a ring as it starts at the CU and ends at the last light in the circuit.

This is very true. I have poped out C16 mcb's at work on isolating transformers and then reset and then on a second attempt they are Ok.

That information they have given you is not correct. A 'minor electrical installation works certificate' as it clearly states at the top "To be used only for minor electrical work which does not include the provision of a new circuit" will not be enough as this is a new circuit and needs full...

Not sure this is what is meant by accessible!!

TLC do them in the contactum rangehttp://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Accessories_Menu_Index/White_Contactum_Index/Wall_Switches_White_2/index.html

I would check the fuse closely again. With re-wireable fuses it is best to try and remove the fusewire to see if it is broken in the part of the holder where you can't see the wire or near the screw.

Hate to be picky but a backbox is an exposed conductive part but like you say it is required to be earthed.

Is one of the lights 2 way switched? ie. is the kitchin light switched from somewhere else also? EDIT : Beat me to it!!

BAN he said he has bought a two way switch not that he needs two way switching! With a two way switch you just use the common and one of the L1/L2 terminals. Which one you use will determine which way the switch is up for on/off.

BAN i think he must mean 'wires'. Join the two earth (bare) wires together once sleeved with green/yellow sleeving either to the earth terminal on the switch box or if it is plastic a terminal block. Join the two neutral wires (black or blue) together in a terminal block and connect the live...

The new MK Logic range 2A sockets are shuttered AFAIK

Electric showers use their full load all the time they are operated and thus diversity can not be applied to them directly as with some other high load appliances. However diversity can be applied to the installation as a whole at the consumer unit and it will depend on what appliances you run...
