Can i link the feed from one security light to another? I want to install 3 or 4 security lights around the house and don't fancy drilling through the wall and chasing cables and fitting fused spurs....or more likely getting a sparky to do all that £££££. I've google it but not found the...

Hi AndyPRK No we don't have a back door bell only a front one. Thought about a wireless one as we didn't want a bell box on the wall. We have a power socket behind the sofa which would be handy for this

well the house is 1930s and I know it has had a full rewire recently (last 10 years) but i've seen some bodges here already with some junction boxes that have grey cables coming out with electrical tape on it. I think I will put the wall mounted case back on so that the cables are hidden as I...

suppose it is a good thing the wires arced as I was about to cut through them lol ( although it would have been low voltage and using 1000v wire cutters) I've put some electrical tape around the bare wires http://media.diynot.com/208000_207872_70773_90633504_thumb.jpg Where the wires go...

tight hole

electrical tape used for safety

I've just removed what I thought was a wired battery door bell as it's not worked since I've moved into this house and was going to just replace with a wireless door chime. The wires have just touched and created an arc, i didn't think this was mains powered as the unit has spaces for...

6 wires, 3 pairs

space for 4x 1.5v batteries but no batteries present

Am I right in thinking I can remove one of my power sockets and exchange it for a fused spur? if so I have no problem wiring alarm into that just was looking for easiest solution. For the garage alarm it would be wired, as I can just run the wires along the wall where as in a house I would want...

yep, so would i be ok putting a plug on it?

Hi I was thinking of getting a wired alarm system for my garage, It would only have a bell box and 1 PIR sensor with it. I know that normally the mains from the CU would go to the a FCU (Switchless) and then from that to the Alarm box however my garage has several unused power points and was...

also the power supply comes directly from the consumer unit, it goes out of the consumer unit, outside and down the wall, into the hall closet and straight into the alarm. I'm no electrician but shouldn't it go into a FCU?

My windows in the house are 2 open position windows, turn the handle 90 degrees and the window opens out, turn the handle down and it locks, turn the handle up and the window opens at the top and pulls towards you a couple of inches. The problem I have is that 3 of my windows only open when at...

ok thanks, i think I would prefer them coming on seperately i.e if the front detects motion and goes off I don't want the other one on the back of the house going off. I was thinking more just to supply power to the light to save having 3 switches, as once they are on they will be stopping on so...

Hi I've got a broken Guardtec 370 house alarm (or so I have been told on here in one of my previous posts). I was thinking about ripping it all out and replacing it with a wireless system but I've seen the light and now want to have a wired system. Am I right in thinking that once I disconnect...
