I noticed an earth sign next to a screwhole on the fitting and attached it there..(is that right?) however.. i've wired it up as you suggest and it isnt powering up. I have the old bulb and two new ones and the same thing happens.. a little flickering on one half of the bulb then nothing. Any...

Oh great thanks.. i'll check for that. Thanks for all the help :)

Hi yes regarding suitability it did say in the ebay listing that it was ok for 28w bulbs too, cheers.

Btw yep have been using 28w bulbs

Thanks.. i'm not clear still on where the live and neutral wires that are currently housed in the LNE terminals on the black ballast should go. Is it to those two terminals on the left of the new ballast, and if so which way around? Also not sure where the metal tab you mention for earthing is...

Thanks for the quick reply, but i have no clue how to move the wires over. Could you give me a quick mapping please?

Hi all. I recently bought a ballast to replace the one in my bathroom serving a 2d light fitting. The existing (black) ballast is shown below wired up. I ordered the white one thinking it to be a straight replacement (2d fluorescent, single fitting, 26W). I did look to the manufatcturers website...

Am i imagining things or did these not used to be made to last in a way they clearly aren't now? The blurb tells you they still have a coating but once or twice in the rain and you can start running the clock down in how many days use you'll get before it's rusted unreadable. When the silver...

Sent in a sketch for quotes so lets see....

Bugger..

Agreed JobandKnock.. and thanks again big-all :)

This no good to you? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ikea-MALM-tv-Unit-Shelving-/181777663799?nma=true&si=mY7RS%252BP9tyVjjxUpEnioAybg10A%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I have the same unit.. and the design seems what you're after.. duno about dimneions tho.

The last place rounded the edgeds off as matter of course with toughening. Cheers big-all i'll give that place a try..

I want to install some glass shelves in the bathroom but am having bad luck sourcing the glass. First glazer i left measurements with twice for a phone quote and twice they failed to get back. Popped into a local today and was quoted a ball park £20 per shelf which seemed crazy steep to me. I...

I have an idea of using the space above my soon to be installed circulating cooker hood to sit a mircrowave oven on and would like to achieve desired strength by anchoring small wire ropes either side of it from wall to hood top at 45 degrees. Where would i get the wire, bolts, anchors etc?

Can anyone recommend a good value source for standard fitted kitchen size drawer inserts? The closest i see all call themselves Blum or equivalent but seem a bit expensive. I'm mainly interested in cutlery inserts for a 400mm drawer but also.. it they're available, an organiser to make a shallow...

Well.. i got this pretty much sorted in the end. On their last working day before the break the main contractor had booked an a gas fitter to put the hob in and their fitout subby sent over a handyman to cut the hob in who had nfi where to start and was honest about it so i said i'd do it. Over...

It's Hackney council. To be fair the main contractor is on the same page, its just at the coal face the skills and communication seems to be lacking, or maybe just the interest. Having another look i think i can probably live with the finish if the return (and therefore the butting makeup) is...

It was when the council came round to sign the works off that the first fookup was realised and the fitters were dragged back to accomodate the integrated appliances. I just want it done to a reasonable standard.. escalating it now isn't really going to help much. This is supposed to be this...

It's a council refurb.. part of the Better Homes scheme.
