not quite sure what your asking here?? only got 2. Yeah thinking a hook plate maybe a good solution. Assuming this is a simple drill and tap method.

its metal. Tamlite 2x58W HF fitting. Defo no holes or anything 20mm in it. Just standard small predrilled holes. Im thinking they supplied the wrong part :?

great thanks for that. only thing is the fitting i got (from CEF) dont have holes in them. They told me the fitting can be suspended and gave me these hooks. Im guessing that having a 20mm hole in the top of the fitting doesnt contravene regs as regards to IP4x as the fitting is up a height...

these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/BGSC10.html best way to attach to a fitting? is it simply drill hole (17mm???) and clip in?? cheers

will certainly try that thanks

wander lead is a good idea :D but is it any different to what i have already done?? no sign of disturbance. apparently last year a "firm were checking drains And they had some sort of machine they ran along the ground and advised there was cabling all the way to the post and it should work"...

excellent i will bring that up. However I know how its going to go though LOL "Boss we could really do with these!!! "Why whats the problem?? Are the current ones not working???" "Everything is working OK its just better and more up to standard" "Err....no" LOL

so once i confirm no cont and depending on IR would it be safe to say cable is damaged? AFAIK its buried directly in car park concrete LOL and i would hate to tell the boss its balls'd and then only to discover after digging up its OK LOL. On these circuits there is only the 2 lights each...

whats that mean mate? Cut through?? Unsure on IR as of yet, spend ages getting the cables back into the terminals on the switch so ran out of time and had to shoot off LOL. Will check 2moro no tried yet. Is it best done at board or can i follow same concept i have and just exchange cables...

excellent thanks for that yeah sorry the pics are of the working light. Its last light on circuit thats faulty. So because its a galv box you dont need banjo or earthing nut? or is it just bad practice. I identified the SWA feeding the faulty light, removed from switch and connected...

hey 5 metre 250W SON lights in a car park. Was asked today to change the lamps on 1 as not working. However was told its not been working for 4 yrs!! Went to check the supply at bottom of the light and found non. Check previous light and found supply so there is nothing between the 2 lights...

hey guys thanks for all the great info :D found out that the problem was when wired to terminals 1 & 2 it must damage/blow the ignitor/lamp. Replaced again with another new lamp and terminal 1 & 4 and all is great :D again cheers

so do i need to alter the fixed wiring in the fitting then? and with it been an EM light does it make it more complicated? just seems strange that if it is wired incorrectly it is working??

9.8kW = 9800W 9800W / 230Volts = 42.6Amps if on a 40A breaker it is pulling more than it should and possibly a good reason for cut-out. Family friend of mine has a 9.9kW shower and is getting the same problem. For now he is using it on the medium setting until a suitable breaker can...

how powerful is the shower??

ok cheers so where could i go from here? Is it a major problem with what i have done or would it be OK to leave as is? Anybody know if you can get a direct replacement ballast?

hmm anything i can do to check this is the case? dont really fancy re-wiring the fitting as its not worth it. I took the original ballast into CEF and was given the tridonic as replacement? does anybody ever bother replacing ballast or do people just replace full fitting cheers :D

oh right cheers for that yeah i check L-N and got 234V i think it was (not there now)

to check neutral is it best just doing cont check from board or previous fitting anybody get problems with capactiors much? Cause the ballast was bust and the lamp didnt work in another fitting (forgot to mention that in 1st post :oops: ) but yeah i tried a known working lamp in this...

tried that also mate and tried a known working lamp but still no look.
