Hi, Bit of a dilemma. I am wallpapering one wall (see all measurements in picture). From two rolls of paper I get 8 lengths, which is pretty much the exact amount I need, too exact maybe? A few questions: How difficult will it be to paper around the corner section with the...

Thanks, but only papering one wall and it would never get used again. Will another coat of paint do, or have I sealed it enough already?

Hi, After some advice. I am papering one wall on a fresh skim of plaster. All walls have been sealed approx. 80/20 with a full undercoat on top of that. On the one wall which I will be papering, should I apply another coat? Would paint suffice or use a specific product? Also, there is...

Yes, purchased bulbs and holders 250v.

Thought it was quite unusual, I think it's 1960's San Francisco. Picked it up at a flea-market in California for $15 Plug is still on it, you can just about make it out at top left of bottom pic (it's pretty small but it is there). So, 1mm 3 core flex connected to 1.5mm t&e via a 6 amp...

OK, just to clarify: First pic is wall light from front. Second pic is wall light from rear with back (metal), removed. I have laid roughly the original wiring where it was before I removed it. I have 1.5mm t&e coming out of the centre of a wall, I need to re-wire this and...

I said two posts up I am happy to re-buy everything here, but the American thing seems to have got in the way of this getting answered. To re-iterrate: 2 x 250v 25w lamps in parallel Breaker is 6 amps Can I use 1mm 3 core cable for the internal wiring? What is the best connector type...

I was replacing like for like and had purchased individual red and black wires to replace the individual wiring in the light. I was also going to use a seperate individual earth wire. If anyone can recommend what I need from my previous post I would be most grteful.

ok, all I want to do is replace the very basic wiring in a wall light so as to be safe in the UK. I bought the wire in the US as I was going to just replace the existing stuff with some rated for the UK - I was there, I bought it. Apologies for not realising that one of the worlds most...

Yes, light casing is metal, which is where it will be terminated.

Crimp, nut and bolt suffice?

I've run 1.5mm t&e out to a hole in the wall, I'm replacing the existing wiring in the wall light so it can take UK voltage (it was US perviously), and this will connect to the t&e.

Fair comment, I have the cable and don't like wasteage. What size cable does UK regs state to use for lighting on a 6 amp breaker?

Basically, it was an American wall light, so while I was in the US I bought US threaded 250v bulbs, lamp holders, and while I was there I bought the wire as well. My thought is that as the lights are only on a 6 amp circuit breaker, I can afford to use American 16 AWG which is 0.0508" which...

I bought it in America. :)

Well, amongst other things printed on it, it says "600 VOLTS GASOLINE AND OIL RESISTANT"
