Hi all, Wanting to wire a PIR occupancy sensor in the bathroom but just had a couple of questions with regards to connections. At the moment the pull cord has a live and switched live w/ earth. The light fitting has live, neutral, switched live and earth. There is a Extractor fan that is...

Hi all, Wondering if someone can help... Basically I have two ceiling lights that are identical in my through lounge and connected to the same switch via a 2 gang switch. The lights are partial LED and partial G4 bulb based (9 to be specific). They also have their own switch built-in so are...

So I decided to read the manual of the product front to back (oh joy) and I can find several references to plugs on it (and its not a generic manual). Funnily enough the microwave oven also states UK on the sticker on the side, but still no plug has been fitted. Even in the Troubleshooting...

Thanks for the replies - the reason why I know for sure that we won't use the convection or grill is that we only ever use it to heat up things quickly using the microwave. I already have a big oven and a mini oven, so don't need a third one. The ratings are as follows: Output: 900w Grill...

Hi all, I bought a new integrated microwave, which spec wise, initially appeared to be equivalent to our existing integrated microwave. Both are 900w however the existing one has a total power figure of 2500w and the new one is 3350w. The new 3350w integrated microwave comes with a rather...

Thanks for the replies and clarifying it will be ok. I don't log on here too often but I must say, It is always great to learn more from other knowledgeable members on here, so thank you :)

Hi there, I'm looking to change my ceiling light and just wanted a bit of assurance/assistance. Basically I am looking to buy a ceiling light (this one in particular: http://bit.ly/1JCgTFH). Now as the description states, it is 230V. For nearly half the price, I can get the very same light...

My builder has just finished installing a set of hardwood veneered french doors which I wanted finished in mahogany. The builder said that they must be wood dyed first instead of varnishing straight on so we wood dyed them mahogany and then later applied satin mahogany varnish. The first coat...

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure how to find out if its compatible but it does fit fine and is the same brand so am I right to assume that the MCD will be OK? It looks a little different from the front visually but other than that its similar to the others. Sparkwright - yes there will be...

Hi all, We need to fit a additional MCD to our existing GE consumer unit, which has all Type E style MCDs on it. This additional MCD is for underfloor heating that we need to wire in. I've been told to only fit one of the same brand so I have got a 20A GE Type B MCD but its a Type SP. Is...

Hi all, Wondering if someone can offer some advice. I am having my kitchen tiled and today the builder ripped out the lineo that was on it to start preparing the floor. This however, haulted the job as it revealed a huge patch of damp under the washing machine and water stains/damp...

Ok, think I've found the issue. The old lights that I want to remove are definetely UK ones as they have a B&Q sticker on them. However, the lights seem to have a inbuilt transformer and the connector block is physically attached to it (i.e. no wire coming from the transformer and attached...

Yep. The old light has a blue and black wire, where as the new lamp has a blue and brown

Right, well i bought the switches today and decided to retrofit them onto the lamps. I then was about to wire up the lamps and so removed my old ones first, but I found myself puzzled by the way the old ones are wired. The existing lamp has the same switch I have fitted to the new ones but...

Thanks for the replies. The lights are 40w I beleive as they only use a single G9 bulb. The supplier cannot supply them with switches on (it seems that nearly all wall lights are now without them) and that is why I am reluctant to fit these but just want to make sure they can be used safely...

Hi there, In the process of fitting new lights in my house and have just got the wall lights left to do, however these are proving a little tricky. I currently have two different kinds of wall lights fitted (one is candle bulb type and the other is a GU10 halogen type). Anyway, both...
