So is it saying: 1. Downlight A must be X meters from another light. or 2. Downlight A must be X meters away from anything it is lighting.

Hi, Possibly a silly question, but what does the phrase: "Minimum distance from illuminated object" mean?

I think I've realised that in order to get a "F" marked fitting which is at least IP44 (Zone 1/2) then the fittings are fairly large. This looks like what I was really after - http://www.mr-resistor.co.uk/item.aspx?&g=20&t=518&r=626&i=6060 although they are £33 each and ideally I would need...

Well I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that no one really knows what I can safely put into a light canopy / cornice. The cornice came from MFI & the light they sell is here -...

Hi, I still haven't found a light :( I went into a local electrical supplier this morning (WF Electrical) and asked if they had anything suitable. They suggested I used Fire Rated Downlighters. They did some compact ones, which is good, because most of the single fire rated ones I have...

Hi, Could you confirm which of the following requires certification for a bathroom: 1. Replace a ceiling light without changing the existing wiring. 2. Replace a light rose with a junction box in the loft, so that only a single cable is in the bathroom. 3. Disconnect an all in one...

Thanks GaryMo - I'll look for that symbol :lol: I wish websites like B&Q would put this infomation on their website.

Hi, We have bought a bathroom from MFI which includes a light canopy. Its basically a piece of MDF which goes across the top of two wall cupboards. There is about 700mm between the cupboards. We decided not to buy the lights from MFI as we wanted to more choice. After deciding on a 3...

Anyone? I'm assuming I need one of these (Female Coupler)... rather than one of these ( Popup trolley.Straight Tap Connector) This will certainly allow me to put the filter between the washer of the Female coupler and the Float tap, but it doesn't look like it will provide as good...

OK I'm still at a loss as the lady in the Plumb Center has just told me that all tap connectors are female... So is it really a tap connector I need or something else :-S

I might have spotted the problem - I guess I need a female tap connector such as the following ??? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/50627/Plumbing/Push-Fit-Fittings/JG-Speedfit-Female-Tap-Connector-Grey-15mm-x-Pack-of-10

So I have a speedfit tap connector like the following - http://www.screwfix.com/prods/48168/Plumbing/Push-Fit-Fittings/JG-Speedfit-Straight-Tap-Connector-15mm-x-Pack-of-5# I assume the idea is that I put the filter in the connection & then attatch it to the float. The problem is that the tap...

[/url] OK - but what trap do I need? Is it corrrect that I shouldn't install a shallow trap?

Hi, I bought a shallow bath trap from screwfix (http://www.screwfix.com/prods/13034/Plumbing/Wastes-and-Traps/Shallow-Bath-Trap-40mm) as I thought this would be ideal for connecting my bath as I have moved the bath closer to the wall & in order to fit the last trap, the fitter had to cut a hole...

Ah yes - that sounds like just the ticket :-) I did wonder why it was called a float tap on the last link I sent!! I already have an isolator valve connected to a copper pipe going striaght up into the float tap, so I'll probably just reduce the length of the copper and put a push fit tap...

It looks like it has the Compact 99B float tap ... http://www.siamp.com/index.php?option=com_hotproperty&task=view&id=61&Itemid=42 I have the seal / filter, but how does it fit with the water pipe? I'm sure this is a really daft question, but I just can't work it out...

Hi, I am installing a Siamp Intra cistern (see http://www.siamp.com/index.php?option=com_hotproperty&task=view&id=36&Itemid=42) The water is obviously connected to the bottom of the float valve, which has a 15mm thread. The problem is that I didn't receive anything in the pack to connect /...

The proximity switches look fairly pricey to me. Can you get one which is contained in a box similar to a basic switch? When you say legalities, I assume you are talking about Part P?

I don't think a pull switch would be good for what are going to be in effecr mirror lights.

Hi, I am fitting a new bathroom suite. We used to have an all in one light & shaver socket & have decided to swap this for downlights fitted into a light canopy above wall units & a separate shaving socket in one of the wall cupboards. Both the new lights & the shaving socket will be fed...
