Ive got an amp with cd player etc, and when i switch on the lights (4 x cfl's) in that roomonly, it would change channel on my amp. now it also seems to do it spontaneously a few times a minute. any ideas what may be causing this? harmonics? ghosts? thanks

will ELV led lamps, can you use a regular transformer?

the part P on site guide can help a little with sticking to regs and such

I must be getting it mixed up, but when i did my "5 day wonder" a couple of people did the test in one sitting with an open book. They had a work assessment to, but that only took the morning

You can take a one day open book exam for the EAL domestic installer cert, costs about £120 and is dead easy.

Its just a hypothetical, i couldnt find the answer in the books and im practising for 2391 later this year.

If I was working on a lighting circuit, and the IR test came out at 0.8M, would I not be able to carry out the work on the circuit until it had been rectified? Also if that result came out on a periodic what code would it be?

Are rewireable fuseboards unacceptable in a rented property? what would they be on the scale of 1-4 in a periodic? how about the push button MCBs?
