Hi, I need to change an old wire wound ballast that runs 2x 15w 18" T8 tubes with a new electronic ballast, the only problem is that I cannot for the life in me find one that runs 2x 15w tubes. The closest I can find is 2x 18w, Would this work and be safe? Thanks

Thanks for that.

Hi, I have a separate toilet room and main bathroom and the light switch for the toilet room is wall mounted in the room.. is this OK? Thanks

The cable will go through a hole to a void under the floor (accessible) then jointed in an enclosure using the correct connectors.

We have a rad in the bathroom already and this is just to warm the tiled floor for walking on. Not my choice.

Looking at the booklet for the underfloor heating (trace heating type) it says that the probe can be extended up to 50m! does that mean the mains supply can be too? the problem is that we have no place to put the stat out side the bathroom and it cant be installed in the bathroom.

Not sure on most of this yet as its all still in the planning stage. The heating will be under a tiled floor in a bathroom. The controller will need to be about 10m or so away from the bathroom as this is the only place to put it. They would be joined under the floor (i can walk the entire span...

Hi, When installing under floor heating is it OK to extend any cables to a position where the controller can be located? Also is it OK to install on the ring main via a FCU or better on its on independent RCBO way? Thanks

what none re-chargeable battery would you recommend?

I am just worried that the battery will fail or I will forget to change it and then it will not work. If the battery was able to charge then at least I would know it was always going to work (providing there is no other faults)

[/url] Thanks, I was not wanting to spend so much on it as they seem a bit on the expensive side.

Its only for the supply that feeds the pump control panel.

Sorry should have said.. there will be a sounder connected to it also.

Thanks, I need to make sure it does not fail as its for a pumping system. It all needs to be mounted in a panel with just a supply cable going to it.

Hi, I need to make a 12v LED panel lamp turn on upon power failure. I cannot find anything to do this and just wanted to know if anyone knew of any way to do this? I would need it to be there for any power failure without having to change any batteries (battery would need to be charged...
