    Supply to LED under cupboard striplights

    Thanks, it is only a 6A circuit. Just found another thread - http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/led-strip-lights-connecting-to-main-circuit.441685/ - which was interesting (before it decended into chaos!) but it did seem to suggest something like...

    Supply to LED under cupboard striplights

    Hi, Found a similar question (http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/wiring-led-light-strips-into-lighting-circuit.318979/) but a bit too old to dig up I think! I have a couple of cupboards which have spotlights underneath which need changing. The LED striplights would be ideal, either the 'tape'...

    What's the point or wireless TRVs?

    I'm presuming you'd be able to set different programmes, so for instance in a morning just heat those rooms you'll be using (bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen) to comfortable temperatures and less so in the other rooms, but for the evening you'd perhaps want to heat the lounge more and have slightly...

    A good LED PIR security light? Any recommendations?

    I recently fitted one of these... http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-slimline-led-floodlight-30w-black/9123h and paired it with one of these... http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-standalone-pir/6630f The light gives good coverage in a decent sized rear garden, and the PIR has an 'override' facility...

    Visonic PowerMaster MC-302E PG2 Contact Sensor 'Wrong ID'

    First thought... does it state they are UK ENROLLING versions on the MC-302 E ? If so, and assuming its a UK panel, possibly firmware, what version is on it?

    Wireless Alarm Recommendation

    If you prefer totally wireless, I'd recommend having a look at Visonic kit, especially the PowerMaster 10 kit which gives you everything you've mentioned - you may need to add another PIR and door contact etc but still should come in under £300...

    threaded anchors - dry wall fixings

    If you think this could turn out to be more than a one-off, certainly might be worth getting a setting tool in your kit - they were recommended to me in another thread and certainly a worthwhile investment for less than a tenner.... http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p96740...

    Securing this cable?

    If you go with the mini trunking, it should fit in the small d-line trunking that might look a bit better and offer it some protection... http://www.screwfix.com/p/d-line-micro-trunking-16mm-x-8mm-x-2m-white/86007

    Gripit Fixings

    Although I'm decided on the Umbrella route myself now, its good to know that they have improved - don't forget to post back after you've used them to secure your cabinet, always useful to have feedback!

    Gripit Fixings

    Thanks, umbrellas it is then, I've already got some but a setting tool certainly looks like a worthwhile investment.

    Gripit Fixings

    Have you seen the 2015 model of these? http://gripitfixings.co.uk/new-gripit-2015/ They look to have addressed some of the installation issues of the original version. I'm interested in them as there is a fairly heavy cabinet that could do with fixing on a partition wall which is basically...

    manhole cover cracked

    Hi, I don't think he frequents the forum any more and didn't respond to a private message I sent a while ago. However... I managed to track him down as it's pretty much a unique service offered by the company he works for. As they weren't too far away I saved some cash by dropping off my old...

    Mounting ideas...

    Thanks Tony, ones I've seen are too narrow, at the 40-45mm I'd need they'd have to be a home-brew version I think but certainly should work!

    The wooden thing located outside and usually full of cr4p?

    Mounting ideas...

    That's more like it, thanks Bernard, I'll give that a bit more consideration - my only change to your design would be a wooden batten each side (a smaller one on the sides where the cables are) but I like the rotating disc, bit like an old-fashioned 'turnbuckle', and the fact that its...

    Mounting ideas...

    Er... yeah, thanks for that, I do know how to search the Internet to 'find' some pegboard - my reference to 'find' however referred to the shed. Or, if it helps you... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=shed

    Not a bad idea, if I can find some!

    Mounting ideas...

    Hmm, thanks for the suggestions but not keen on the Velcro to be honest - they can get rather warm in use and in my limited experience with sticky Velcro (decent, branded heavy duty stuff) I can see the what goes up coming down at some point as the adhesive softens. I think I'm heading towards...
