Only one fuse in unit for lighting and downstairs is on

Thanx for the reply.

baffled now.
any further advise?
Thanx Colin
Gents, I have just returned from holiday to find i have no power to the upstairs lights, downstairs are on and i have checked the fuse which is ok.
My son (breaks everything) said he just put a new light bulb in his bedroom, its didnt work and he noticed the bathroom light go off as he tried...
the unit is labelled wrong, No 4 read downstairs lights, should have read downstairs ring....(wrote in pen)
No 6 labelled lights and protected correctly with 5amp
so sorry for time wasting gents.
Thanx
not proved if its labelled wrong yet.
didnt want to mess last night as it was getting dark, in work now but when i get in later will pull the fuse and check lights downstairs dont work.
would be a bit naughty if the unit fuse positions was labelled wrong.
would really appreciatte advise...
Thanx for all the advise
Its the same as the one in the picture (WYLEX)
Behind the small white cover (printed on it) its says 4th from left downstairs lights, and its got a 30amp fuse in it (red dots).
how would i know if its wired into the downstairs ring main?
The consumer unit looks...
thanx for the advise John, do i just remove the 30amp fuse and put a 5amp fuse in its place..........straight forward as that?
im glad i checked.
so when i put a 5 amp in tomorrow, what size cable for my wall lights 1mm or 1.5mm?
thanx
not long moved into the house.
on fuse for downstairs lighting says 30amp.
i aint mad cos i didnt put it there, just looked to see what i had, to reply to the question "whats protecting the cable"
what should it be?.........thought this was a advise forum, just slaggin off then not...
What height from the floor, or rule of thumb eg 2/3rds, 3/4, up from floor, is used to position wall lights.
dont want to have them fitted then think, too low...........too high.
any guidance would be appreciated.
thanx
can anyone give me advise on how to cut 1/2" off the end of my wooden panel with a gloss veneered finish, so i don't chip or split the panel.
Im looking for a nice clean cut.
Thanx
Can anyone tell me what height from the floor the top of the bath should be when fitted.
the floor or walls are not tiled yet, and i want to fit the bath in.
I ask this question so when i come to fit bath panels, which i dont have yet. i dont encounter problems with the height.
I use multi surface cleaner or star drops.
I dont know the manufacturers name of the flooring as it was layed when i moved in.
Ive tried some laminate floor cleaners from the DIY stores but just get the same dull cloudy finish.
Thanx.
What is the best cleaner for laminate floor?
Every product i have tried leaves a dull scuffed cloudy finish.
If i use a floor polish it becomes slippy and unsafe.
Thanx for any advise in advance
