I would agree old colours = old colour sleeving

2391 courses lead to a C&G qualification - I assume the NICEIC one does as well(?)

1) Sparks here :) 2) I hire my brain from HSS 3)I have 15 sockets I want to run from my light switch - how do I do this - oh and it's in the garden - is this ok? If you can answer that then you'll fit in fine 'round 'ere ;) 4) Screwfix and IEE Prost!

Use No More Nails to fix that puppy down, cut the head off the screw and superglue in place - jobs a goodun'.... OK don't do that....but I have seen the extender jobbies that Pensdown is talking about but can't remember the name either - a quick Google didn't turn up anything either...

Try contacting Hager 0870 607 6677 [email protected] or maybe The Wholesaler will look in here and be able to help

I would hope that the sockets do have an earth at them!! You need to take a flying lead from the earth to the connector on the metal casing.

I guess check the fuse that supplies the sunroof - may have blown?

As long as they are suitably wired and fitted out and the garage is protected by the RCD this should be ok

Nooooo....especially no NICEIC registered ones ;)

What it means are 3 sets (3 red 3 black and 3 g/y - 3 T&E cables in other words) You will need the ouside socket supplied via a RCD as well - be a suitable IP rated socket - suitable wiring method etc

I suppose it's not only DIY'ers that can terminate badly though......

General concensus so far is 3 core is the way ahead (3 core you know the scoreTM?;)) For the sake of a few pence extra on the smaller sized cables it may well be worth adding the extra piece of mind. :)

Maybe worth opening a thread in the plumbing section for this? Must be some gas fitter lurking about near there :)

Say in a domestic situation where the cable is properlly terminated and clipped, there is (or should be) no chance of the cable being pulled out. The cross section of the armour is >= it's copper equivalent so should provide more than adequate readings. I can see good arguments for using...

I have fitted a ~3m x 3m kitchen with 6 eyeball downlights which point to specific areas - all off one non dimmed switch - combinded with under unit lighting the kitchen is bright and has no dull spots. In the bigger kitchen area I would tend to use zones for the lighting but I suppose it...

I have always used the armour as the cpc when using SWA cable but have noticed people sometimes use 3 core with one of the cores acting as cpc (as well as armour sometimes) As long as the glands are made off correctly the armour is more than sufficient so do people use 3 core to safeguard...

Thanks for the links :) PITA the fees - to add 1 socket in a flat would cost you £100 for the warrant (and probably take weeks to come through) before you've kicked a ball......

So you have 2 cables at the switch? red and brown to one terminal and blue and black to the other? Was there a loud bang and a puff of smoke before it permanently stayed on?
