Its actually a 4 pin not an es my idea is the ballast might be better at quick start ups as the light might not run for long, My other though was...

I need to fit the dreaded down lighter to save space in a place with limited head room. Though i would like to fit something modern and energy efficient. I don't need to worry about spread as its a short corridor about 1 x 2 meters but are these any good...

Ok sounds like its ok their must be a switch on my head that doesn't like two earth's from different circuits joined

Sounds like you have a loop in circuit but in you wall socket i'm guessing the single core is a switch cable exactly how many lights and switches are their controlling this part of the circuit?

I forgot that RCBO are not directly fitted to the earth of the cable, though wouldn't a earth fault on one circuit also cause the RCBO to trip on the other as the earth would be connected via the back boxes

Assuming their is two fuse spurs attached to dual back box and both are feed from separate circuits each of which are both feed by RCBOs, would this constitute poor design as both circuits would be earthing the same back box?

Do I guess your DNO charge for that service if so what is a ball park figure. Do all Meter operators have to provide this service

From what i been told is BG are responsible from what I shall call the end of the fuse to the meter (not the tails Interesting enough) DNO (EON) will not fit an isolator it has to be arrange though BG who subs this work out to the metering agent

I'm happy to pay for an isolator, But for £120 just to pull the fuse or reseal seems excessive i would expect it all to be done and dusted for that price

Just guessing i best not call up for the seal to be replaced as it seems to be a standing charge of a call out!

Ok so how do I upgrade my meter tails cut the seals on the meter and yes probably would charge less than £120 to fit but who is pulling the fuse or is he working live

Ran BG today to ask for an isolator to be fitted. The young lady from their MASTs team informed me that they no longer fit isolator switches, but i could have the main fuse pulled at the cost £120 + vat but they could no guarantee they be back the same day. Is someone taking the P? i...

No not now

Not thinking of doing anything at the moment! Other than having a shower fitted soon Wire is 2.5mm so not good enough. I'm curious to the cable runs in the house current their are some run i the cavity and one up an internal brick wall for lighting. The house is completely brick internal...

I'm not on about getting power up their for anything particular im on about routing cables Lighting, Shower etc how would most sparkies do this as it seems that some have been routed in the cavity wall which is insulated

Good Morning What is the preferred way of getting cables from a CU on the ground floor up to the attic?

The earth is just seems to be wrap around the incoming so guessing its off the armour So what is the problem with metal clad box

I was a bit worried as the cooker CU is actually pushed into the meter and doesn't seem to fit at all in fact it is cable tied to the other cables. Anyway back to the man question is this TN-S and if so what dose it mean to your choice of CU

Do you think they will fit an isolator and upgrade the meter tails at the same time

Its strange the has has E7 but never had storage heater ever from what the previous owner told us (we are the second owner) I'm with British gas and they add both the number up though this is becoming a problem as i'm on a web tariff and it asks for meter readings online but can't accept them...
