Hi This is off nic's website worth taking a look. http://www.niceic.org.uk/partp/notification.html Onesongrg

HI You can get a fireproof cover for lights, BUT "YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THE LIGHT IS DESIGINED FOR THIS USE" it could overheat and you need make sure the earthvolt loop impeidence is low so it will trip your mcb or fuse wire. Onesongrg

Hi Texecom alarm boxs are very good, i must have installed over 100 and never had a call back"Hope i am not jinxing myself". They are well made and there is many diffrent size's and versions available. Onesongrg

Hi I going to look at a job next week, a friend has installed 3x500 watt pir switchable security lights on a 10amp mcb, they all work, but don,t switch off when he turns the power on, i ask if he wired the up to the right connections, hes faxed me the wiring instructions and how he wired the...

yes that would be fine only i don't have any contact details?

Try eca they may be more help, i am niceic approved it can be a pain in the arse, as far as i am aware you have to assessed by a regulated body not regestered with them!

it sound like a power surge (There is a link on this site for this have a look in lighting).

ghost,s :shock:

Rec books: snags and souloution (not bad) but niceic have a inspection,testing and certification book out (4th edition) £25 if none approved £15 if approved. This will point you in the right direction, they also do 2381 and 2391 training courses, get you boss to pay (not cheap!!!!)

Hi sag Labour charges £50 first hour, £25 every additional hour, if you require a vat recept it is all plus vat, all work is certifyied. like i said it will be about 2 weeks before i could do the job, to install a cu for your shower and test, take around 1-2 hours, but without looking at the...

Look on niceic website for your area, give a regulated company a call!!!

i would not put intallation on top of the lights, you can buy fire proof covering for lights if you are worried, also with the damp/condensation of a bathroom make sure the lights are designed for a bathroom.

I mate i can replace the cu for you but will not be able to do it for a about 2 weeks ? If you can wait that long let me know?

sorry just reread you quarry wire all the lights up the 6amp or 10amp junction box depending on the fuse check the wattage of the bulbs 10 x 40 watts = 400 watts make sure it will not overload the citcuit.

yes

lets say a downstairs ring main is protected by a rcd, plug in your test at a socket go the the settings eg rcd time, 30ma x1 and press the test button the rcd will trip in milli seconds, then switch to rcd trip 30ma x1 and repeat this will give you a milliamp triping time repeat again at x5...

? are theses lights low voltage ie 12v, you can tell this if there is a transformer with the set of lights, also the shop says it does not matter if the are reversed, lights should always be switchable from the live side if a bulb blows and the live is still on the fitting because the neutral...

you need to test a rcd with a rcd tester or multifunction tester 1,5 settings are tests to the breaking point of the rcd.

why not install it in metal conduit and earth the tube ? Just a thought!!

Thanks for the reply m8 It crossed my mind about trying a 16 amp mcb the installation is a TT only 5 brackers on cu to rewire the circuit was not easy and i will have to change the cu. But you are probably correct about surges, i will try a clamp meter across the circuit see what it pulls...
