Steve , I do a lot of Bathroom and Kitchen Electrics ,and the biggest problem I come across in existing installations is the customers dissapointment in the quality & levels of light output from their downlights..............so the answer to your question is yes . ...Just trying to...

Read my comments in the earlier thread regarding the installation in regards to their location ; ..with regards to the choice ..230v. or 12 v. ..... 12v are generally regarded as giving off a better light. Their IP rating requires consideration in respect of the Zones. Their...

BAS states,, Sadly all too common. Not convinced that all lamps contained in the links ,though described in the ads as Dichroic ;are in fact true dichroic,,,some appear to be aluminium reflector. Going back to my question of how readilly available are GU10 dichroics...

Hi yer RF. Preventing the use of Dichroics is not the Main point I am trying to convey here. If you look back over my comments then it will be clear the point I am making is that an enclosed back on a fitting is safer than an open type in terms of inadvertant contact with combustible...

2.5 mm . t & e would be acceptable as the link from the oven sfcu to the ign. fscu... however its your choice as to which method to use....no problems either method.

That appears acceptable, assuming the oven remans less than 3kw. Personally I prefer to connect the ovens via a sfcu.cos better contact is assured, but your design is as I say acceptable.

Morning BAS, But the design does not prevent someone putting a dichroic lamp in it ..not heard of, or come across a dichroic lamp that fits into a GU10 lampholder..but I am prepared to be corrected on this...can you tekll me how common they are ?

O.K. !

If you consider it better workmanship to fit fire rated fittings, it's your call, -I do think that yes ! ...for the reasons I have stated. and if your customers are happy to pay for it then fair enough. -As I have also previously stated ..What price Safety ...

Why not extend the existing circuit wiring into an adjacent cupboard and install a socket for the dishwasher there ?

If the plasterboard is covering a solid wall then drill through into this solid wall and use longer fixings. If it is only a stud wall ..i.e. no solid wall structure then you will need to see if you can locate parts of the timber frame wiork ....studs or noggins etc, and fix to them. If...

There is also nothing to stop someone replacing an aluminium lamp with a dichroic reflector lamp in a fire rated fitting - ...Have you tried installing a GZ10 lamp in to a fire rated 230 volt fitting ?

There is a good chance it may be a converta socket [ if it flush mounted to the wall ] ,in which case providing you can make do with an outlet reduction here, just install another single or twin outlet face plate depending on the size of the box installed to the rear of the present converta...

but now you should have a double pole(DP) switch as it is bad practice to put a connector block in That would well and truly knacker him up on fitting the dimmer switches then wouldnt it ?

BAS.....your such a tease ! Fire rated downlights are intended for use with Aluminium reflector lamps which are designed to throw the majority of their radiated heat downwards and away from the luminaire, leading to a reduced temperature to the rear surface...[ as previosly stated...

oTHerWise i wIlL gO caPS loCk cRaZy :oops: :)

Yep ! :lol:

I dont know that particular make of controller, but typically they have 230volt Mains input plus outputs to 1. the heater mat 2. the thermostat ...all mains voltage..

You have purchased ,in my opinion, a poorly designed multi-way adaptor. That design could still cause problems by way of putting pressure on its plug when the the heavy router and telephone plugs are plugged into the unit. You require the type of multi-way adaptor that has a flexible lead...
