Yep, that should do it.

Pretty sure you don't have to use that neutral terminal. I think it's just giving you the option to park your neutrals there if you wish. I installed one of these a while ago and pretty sure neutrals were just connected in a block as the terminals are a right pain to use (as you've found...

I saw some of these the other day in a posh flat. They were all in a separate CU under the main CU. I think they were controlling the electric radiators in each room through a timer.

Have you had a lot of power cuts in the last year and a half then? I know this is an old thread but it's not quite 1973 is it?!

Don't see why not. If there's room for cable in the CU then there should be room enough for the extra width added by the crimps. Or use a JB screwed to the wall near units, or connector block in a chocbox. Not the pretiest but practical.

Extend them!

If you're using the plug lead make sure your plugged in to the correct holes on your meter for the conductors you're testing for continuity between.

I hope you haven't got too many of those labels left!

Why not just wire as 20A radials and save yourself a bit of cable!

Thant's what I thought...thanks

If replacing a 32A MCB with a 32A 30mA RCBO for a ring final for additional protection would this require and EIC or just MWC? Think I know the answer but just canvassing some opinions!

Is it okay to use black rubber flex to feed an outside light? Flex would be wired into an IP56 junction box taking it's feed from a SFCU inside from the lounge ring, so junction box is about 1.2m from the ground, need to run up from this and about 6 metres along the wall to the light. 1mm...

Okay, I suggested one set of 3 spots but others insist on 2 sets, so, does anyone know where I can get a 2G 400W dimmer switch (plain white) (to control the 6 spots together) that will replace the existing 2G 250W dimmer (the other switch controls 5A light sockets)?

Thanks for the info. Yes Dippy, I read your 'experiments with downilights' post, seems like you know how to enjoy yourself!! Seriously though... very useful, ta.

Thanks for that! Points taken :D The three downlights did serve their purpose but the room in question is now to be used mainly as an artists studio hence the need for more light and directional light. As the room will occasionally be used as a guest bedroom the lights need to be dimmable...

Evening all. Just wondering if anyone could advise what the implications could be (if any) of replacing 3 LV downlights with 3 sets of 3xGU10 surface mounted spots. The current recessed LV downlights flicker which I presume is either due to the dimmer switch not handling the load or the...
