Cant be arsed to argue with you as i have far better things to do with my life. Malc follow Ban All Sheds instructions to the letter for he is god (not an electrician at all by the way) Just an enthusiastic amateur, He has been banned from more forums than you can care to name for being about...

No the plugs have been combined into one plug so it is still plug in lighting. so does NOT come under part P as it is not considered a fixed installation by the nature of a plug it is deemed temporary.

When you say you have removed the plugs and put a switch onto them, how have you done this??? if you have used a double pole switch then the dimmer is basically a single pole device so the neutrals need to be joined in a connector lock and the lives go through the dimmer. If this is a plug...

Screwfix sells them just look for a 60w or VA transformer and you definiteley need to put thise connectors in a junction box or choc box. If you have any other downlights then just to be on the safe side get them checked out as lose connector blocks like that are not allowed and are a danger ...

Vera you are looking at the flex at the top are you not as feeding the programmer??? I think Steve is meaning the two grey cables entering the spur from below. Can you post a picture of the spur with the front off then we can confirm or deny this. If you do not want our help then do not come on...

Ah your all missing the crucial thing written at the top of the page 'Martin Kerrigans TEAM of electricians' He is obviusly just flitting from A to B and his TEAM fix everything he leaves behind like the lectric fairies LOL Nick

Hi Just wanted to throw my two penneth worth in, Who says your lighting is fine???? you as its buried in steel pipe or your electrician who has tested and inspected the wiring ?? If its steel conduit then it may have been re-wired with new cables, but then again it might not , take his...

How about a 30 pole 2 way switch ??? :D :D :D :D :D :D

Glad to hear your all sorted out, dodgy sparky eh TuT TuT naughty sparky LoL Nick

Maybe or maybe not as the problem could still be with your house wiring end. See what they say and take it form there. Nick

Right to see where you are now i think you need a multimeter to test for voltage at your programmer. if you have power there between the left two terminals then you have got a faulty programmer. Either that or the circuit feeding your spur that your heating runs off is faulty . As long as no...

Depends what your work does as to whether or not they would be able to diagnose it is faulty or not. The fact that all the lights have gone out on it suggests no power getting to it so thats why we suggested the fuse in the spur, Are you sure there is no other spur that could have blown a fuse...

plumber is your best bet to start with as normally they can sort out most electrical problems to do with a central heating system. Can you post some pics of your airing cupboard/boiler area and we may be able to advise better if needed ponce you have tried the fuse. Nick

TRy looking for it near to your boiler or in the airing cupboard near the pump/valve if fitted it looks like a switch with a box next to it saying fuse Sounds like it has blown the fuse so could be some other part of your heating has got a fault. Nick

We used to have one of those meter boxes at my old house and that had cable tie hinges aswell, i thnk it was the original design . probably could pop rivet some hinges to the fibreglass and that would solve the problem. May take a bit of fiddling to get it to work properly. Nick

What is the power consumption of the unit? if its over 2kw then the new 17th edition regulations do not allow you to connect it directly into a ring main and it must have its own dedicated supply. It is very unusual to have a split air con unit supplied form a ring main , i have never seen it...

How do you know it switching the neutral???? Is it the black in the live to the ceiling rose ?? if so its nothing unusual it is NOT a neutral it is a switched live and should have been sleeved red. Switched neutrals if you did have them are lethal and are illegal . I think you need to look at a...

I think a lot of you have failed to read the OP , the lamps they are trying to dim are low energy lamps. unless specifacally designed to be dimmed ie the ones stated by megaman to be dimmable , then there is every chance that is why they are flickering. Low energy lamps are not designed to be...
