I will have the help of my friend an ex-spark, if there are errors make corrections to it, what is wrong with you ? Point out the errors, help or don't bother posting

That is why there is self certification is it not? The live connections are being checked by a competent, registered spark how many times do I have to ****ing repeat this

Thanks very much chap for that pertinent and sterling advice. Why do I bother getting out of bed in the morning eh? For your information I’m self taught in almost every aspect of my education, I didn’t get the benefit of a wonderful state funded education like you did when you were young. I’ve...

Thanks so much chap that's really good advice. I've questioned the use of spots now and considered pendants, the thread has put me off them a lot. It would save me a lot on materials but my heart was always set on spots. The ones you've quoted look lovely and around £13. However I'm having...

Hi Adam, to answer those questions. No I won’t be making connections, just running cable. I would notify building control if they offered a consultation service that I already pay for as part of council tax. The work will be inspected and signed of by a qualified electrician I know...

So either option is perfectly acceptable and I won't come home one day to see my house in flames and my neighbors not being able to listen to their radio because of my chosen spot lights? Which would you chose if you were me?

I guess the options are to dim or not to dim? And to cool white or to warm white ? http://www.screwfix.com/search?search=dimmable+spot+lights Not a bad selection of dimmable spots from screwfix. But pricey. And according to some I'd be shortening the life of the bulbs by using them...

[/url] If I buy these bulbs, is the same wiring used that would be used for halogens, and are transformers etc required? Again, sorry I'm not a sparky I'm helping an ex-sparky to run the cables, so if this is a stupid question apologies, and I'm sure he will know which to use anyway. Just...

Ok well I'm paying over the odds then. I did a price comparison today and I've only one electrical wholesaler to compare with the likes of screwfix, toolstation, b&q etc. If you think you can get all that for about £500 then I guess that's the perk of being a sparky. So I guess I'm stuck paying...

Thanks Andy, can you or anyone suggest me a good LED for these spots? Besides the one that's been posted which is non-dimmable ? Ok fine perhaps if I settle on not having my beloved dimmers anywhere and just have spots with part l compliant LEDS as someone provided a link to before, would this...

Ok so explain to me how this is different from having spots on a rail? http://www.screwfix.com/p/shot-brushed-polished-chrome-4-light-spotlight/35355 Some of the most common bloody lights used in domestic properties..

So why the hell are they used in peoples houses if this is a problem ? Answer me that

And John, with regards this comment ... 200W-300W worth of lighting (non-dimmed) would be very excessive for all but very large rooms. Someone said earlier it would be insufficient having spots... So if I've 50W, 4 for a bedroom say that's 200W of lighting on full... the word earlier was...

Thanks John, kind and reasonable response there. If it weren't for someone like yourself balancing the foray, I'd have gone away with some weird paranoia about spotlights/downlights. Bloody hell they are in every home improvement magazine, from kitchens to bathrooms to bedrooms, and dimmable...

What's in your bonnet? Against the law to have halogen bulbs? You're talking absolute sh1te. Please be a kind gentleman and suggest a part l compliant bulb, as yet you've given **** all in terms of actually useful advice, just stupid bickering. I've asked for information, what in your post there...

Then you're buying ****e? Or that's without VAT If they aren't suitable for dimming they wouldn't sell them would they ?

So what is the protocol? It's not good to have dimmers now???? Like 99% of the population have in their lounges/bedrooms/kitchens ... suddenly it's not right here ?

Tell me what bulb to buy that satisfies part L and I'll buy it... the fact they are all fire rated downlights at least shows that the guy is attempting to meet regulations. He asked me if I wanted the the energy efficient ones and because they are expensive we agreed on the cheaper halogens. I'm...
