Hiya All Been advised by a mate that I should put enough lamps on a tranny so that the tranny is working at its max. Using lamp holders with 10 watt \g4 bulbs and trannys are 10-60w output. So this would put 6 of these lamps on one tranny. This conflicts with previous advice received...

Your being robbed. How these types work is a nice big job like yours bung on an extra metre or so and then drive to a cash job (probably someone who asked them in the pub) drop off the extra metre thats on the truck - pocket the cash . Get back to yard foremen checks there weight and what the...

Thanks for this. Gives me an idea what to do.

Thanks for your help. Looks like a re-think on my part.

Ok Thanks I understand your point on 240 w to light the room and i was hping to use these as an accent light rather than main. I will be placing lights under the wall units to light the counter tops and a pendant for the centre island. Ive ordered one of the lights i provided a link to for...

Cheers Ban All The reason for this is that i wanted the smallest lamps and holder i could and the shallowest as they are going in a vaulted ceiling. I only have around 40mm (inc plasterboard) of depth to play with or risk hitting the Kingspan and the type im looking at only have a depth of...

The bit in front of where the fire goes is the hearth. If your not planning to use this again then just run a new joist over it (maybe dig a bit more soil out). Sit this joist on dpc and your sorted no need for concrete. If i were you i would break out the floor of the fireplace to the same...

Eh Up! Ok brickie requires advice. Putting approx 12 mini downlights in ceiling using 20w G4 capsule bulbs. Cut out is only 25mm diameter so access to tranny is not possible after fitting. I am putting this circuit on 1.5mm T&E and hope for it to be dimmable. Problem is access to...

Any chance of a reccomendation ?

Design of lights restricts me to low voltage. Im hopeful i can find the small fittings to accept G9 bulbs but its looking like G4. Thanks

Ha Ha Very entertaining post. Cant understand why cottonbud didnt do the job himself he seems over qualified I dont believe hes trying to get a cheap job done hes just one of those retired types with too much time on his hands. Engineers love to test other trades knowledge as they think...

Howdy Doody all Can any of you sparkys recommend a brand of reasonably priced transformers for low voltage lights. Think i might need ones that can run multiple lights 3+ from one as the downlighters are mini type. I assume soft start is a must and i need dimmable also. Dont want to...

Ok Thanks Guess opinion is divided. Ta

Do it the old fashioned way. Measure height of the moulded section ie the bit at the top with the nobbly bits. Lets say its 2 inches. Get a 2ft section of 3 x 1 and using a sguare mark on top edge 2 opposite mitres marking down each side as a cutting guide. Then carefully cut down the...

Concur with Woody had sam issue on recent job BI was happy to cover with Pea gravel only. I doubt anyone would recommend using concrete.

Hi All Just wanted an opinion on this boiler Biasi HE Combi Boiler 28kW. Is it any good ie reliability, parts price, ease of servicing. Thanks in advance Stanna

Dont think ive ever seen a sandstone lintel bend. Think it would crack if you bent it more than a mill. I wouldnt worry

Pre mixed (easier) lime mortar.
