HIya, Hey thanks so much. Sorry for the late reply - I thought I'd turned on notifications to my email but clearly hadn't. Thanks for such an in depth response, that tells me all I needed to know. My plan to rip out the wardrobe for put on the back burner and I just proceeded with repairing the...

Hi guys a merry Christmas to everyone! I recently bought a house, it’s 1905, and the photo attached concerns the inside of a built in wardrobe. The wall is a west-facing external wall, and the two holes shown are so loose you can pick them away with just a fingernail, and it goes all the way...

Hi there. Total novice here that could use some really specific directions on what to do here. I need to screw a 44x44mm baron into a solid wall. Could anyone link me to exactly what I need to buy to achieve this in the simplest way possible - ideally the plugs I’d need, the screw I should...

The lights came with a terminal block on the end, I want to put a plug where the terminal block is and plug it into an outlet. See, the problem is that I'm a photographer, not an electrician, so I don't really know the correct terminology. That gives people like you a great opportunity to...

Buying two doesn't solve my problem, since I need them to be mains powered, and need the bulbs to be identically spaced, but further apart than they are in a traditional bay. I also need the bays to be a different shape than a traditional bay. I again need the bays to be coated in a different...

Because I can't find one that contains 4 bulbs. I'm building a specialist unit for a specialist job. Christthescott, thanks man. I didn't really understand your post at first, as I didn't actually have the ballast in front of me. Now I have it, it all made perfect sense. Connected it and...

It's coll man, I wasn't offended, I realise that I'm doing something potentially dangerous. No problems at all. Just want to know what wires to stick where though. I like I say, if there's something Im missing, let me know, because I will leave it if there's more to it than that.

This wouldn't be the most technical or dangerous thing I've done in my life. With all due respect, it's basically just stripping a wire and poking it in a hole. I'm in a garage with a single electrical point and no fire hazards around me of any kind. I don't know what voltage it was...

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply. I posted the wrong ballast, I just realised this is the one I have: http://www.controlkings.com/tridonic-atco-t8/22176107.html Is that a different matter? My main issue is the blue and the brown wires that go from the ballast to the lamp sockets. It...

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with some wiring. I just purchased a tridonic ballasts, and I want to create a new light fixture. I bought a twin strip light, and removed the ballast, and I intend to replace it with the electronic ballast, as well as convert it to mains power. However...
