Thanks for the reply mate, have you ever tried the ones I have linked to in my original post? .I will look at the ones you have linked me to aswel. Cheers Adam

Cheers for the detailed reply chri5! I have decided to purchase 4 of the 3w LED GU10 bulbs, as these should be fine for replacing the 4 x 50w GU10 bulbs that are in the 2 up/down light fittings on the front of the house. I still want to change the 6 in the kitchen though, so I will look...

Cheers for the reply. Do these really only consume 3watts instead of 50? If I used these in all of the gu10 fittings around the house, the electric bill should drop quite a bit lol. Cheers Adam

Looking to buy some Energy Saving GU10 light bulbs. I have seen some with half a dozen LEDs in, but have read reviews that these do not produce enough light. I'm looking for the best place to purchase some that have 2-3 LEDs in them but not sure where to buy from. They can’t be a different...

Thanks for the reply. The contact is aluminium, and is not accessible inside. This only has 4wires coming out, giving me 2 pairs. One for each reed switch. Can I double the pairs up and put them into one zone on the panel? I have run 6core cable, so can I use the spare 2 cores for tamper...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I purchased 100m of Alarm cable and used that instead of Cat5. Could anyone help me on wiring up magnetic door contacts? I have a Veritas V8c alarm panel. The magnetic contacts that I have purchased are Euro flex CA503B, specifications below. Two reed...

Hi, looking to wire up my new shed to the existing house alarm. Is it possible to use Cat5e cable? Solid core twisted pairs. Also, can anyone recommend any sort of door contact instead of a PIR? Cheers Adam

Don’t really fancy spending £30 on junction boxes Lectrician! I would much rather use choc bar in a choc block if it is acceptable to have standard 2 core flex from them running to the down light. Cheers -Adam

Hi taylor, the CPC is connected from the supply through to every junction box. The only place the earth doesn’t run is from the junction box to the double insulated down light(s). Could you confirm if using normal 2core flex from JB/chocbox to down light is acceptable? Cheers -Adam

Hi ericmark, not looking to use maintenance free junction boxes as I will have access to them through the down light hole. Is it ok to use a chocbox which has a cable clamp for each down light, T+E in and out, and a 2 core flex from each one to the lamp? Cheers -Adam

Ok great, so if I change my junction boxes to either a choc box with a cable clamp, or a junction box with a flex cable clamp, is it ok to use normal 2 core flex from this to the down light connection box? Cheers -Adam

I have read the instructions, and it only shows wiring one of the down lights, not several. It does not say anything about T+E, flex or the like. These are halolite GU10 mains voltage down lights btw. EDIT: Instructions say: connect the mains supply cable(s) to the terminal block...

Hi guys, just a quick question. I’m wiring up some down lights in the bedroom, and have ran T+E to a junction box for every down light. The down lights are prewired to a connector block with some sort of heat resistant wire. Is it ok to use standard 2core flex from this to the junction box...

Just another thought, if I want to install the spotlights into MDF, should i look for F marked spotlights? Cheers -Adam

I was going to use spotlights as they will be able installed flush spaced out all around the pelmet, and I would be able to turn on different sides of the pelmet with different switch’s and dim them. Is there any sort of LED spotlights? Any links would be apricheated! :D Steve - Could you...

Hi guys got another question regarding wiring up spotlights. In my bedroom, I’m looking to build a pelmet around the ceiling and have some rows of spotlights individually switched. What I currently have: Single Switch 1 x COM 1x L1 Ceiling light 1 x switched live 2 x neutrals 1 x...
