subscribing to your topic was the first things I did mate :D Cheap tablet on the wall to serve as an LCD for the front camera might be a cunning solution although how to wire that up (unless I do it via wifi) might be an issue.... So the recorder takes feeds from each camera and the...

Just had a new (wired) alarm system installed and at the same time Cat5 runs dropped from a gigabit switch in the loft to each room. Router is downstairs with the pc (connected to switch in loft of course). There are motion-detected security floodlights in the front and back Now possibly...

Okay fair enough. In my limited understading I meant GU10 to mean the GU10 socket base (mains halogen) and the MR16 to mean the 2 prong transformer-needed halogen. So what is the answer on that basis :oops: I do also take your point about the torces. I prefer directional lighting and...

7.5W I do think the Day white might be brighter but these are not as bright as normal 50w halogens and were a little too yellow. I am worried though the day white will have too much of a bluish twinge On eBay I just cant find any Natural white or cool white (in the ~5k range) Elsewhere...

I sent the warm whites one back as they were not bring enough. Have bought 5 of the 8W LED as above to try and will also buy an SMD Day white one to assess its brightness

so far I have had the run to the loft and from there to each bedroom as well as the kitchen done. The backplates have been installed in each bedroom but final wiring will be done after all this work has been completed I have also got a 5 port router for the TV etc. Have had my first go at...

In the house there are rooms (bathrooms/Kitchen/Study) that have lots of MR16 Halogens The hallway and landing both have GU10 as does the master bed. Would there be any reason why some parts are one not the other? Reason I ask is that I want to swap out for SMD LED halogens for energy...

Thanks. My master plan is to put a 5 port switch (gigabit) near the TV/xbox etc so all these things can have wired ethernet access. There will be 1 run of cat5 from the router to the loft where I plan to put the 8 port gigbit switch and from this have runs to each bedroom (and if possible to...

Will do!

I will make sure I get the ones with high 5050 SMD density and at least 400l

Useful to know - thanks I will ai for that wattage. So would something like this (no fins but no cover) be okay?

Thanks guys. I will be trying to do this slow and steady. The wires to the MR16s are a mixture: old wire type in the bathrooms and kitchen and newer looking "cord" type in the office conversion. Noted re Ebay - I was planning to stick to ones advertises as CE compliant and thet are still...

Just to update this thread having now moved in. It seems I have a pressurised heating system (there is a glowworm system boiler and what looks like a small old megaflow to drive the flow to the rads beneath it in the kitchen - even though there is also a small header tank in the loft?!) In the...

Now I know everything is wireless nowadays and I can get wireless extenders to increase range etc but I have liked the idea of having a wired network as much as feasible in the house. I would appreciate help on how best to go about it. I have the main pc and router (cable BB/virgin) in the...

In the house I have just purchased there are LOADS of halogens everywhere. I would like to swap these out for energy efficient SMD ones. Have a few questions please: They are a mixture of GU10s and MR16s in the various rooms: MR16s in the kitchen/bathrooms and study GU10s in the hallways...

First of a series of enquiries which all start with "Have just bought a new house and found..." :) There are 2 bathrooms upstairs and both have a control panel for underfloor heating which are both wired in. 1 works though and I doesnt (ie the floor is cold and the control panel is dead)...

Just in the final stages of Conveyancing in house move. Buyer Solicitor asking for the FENSA certificate for the room window that was installed during my Loft conversion in 2007. Now at the time the builder and I both rang the Local Authority and were informed that as the conversion was for...

lol yes although I would be lucky to find enough space to put my head down once my wife has stored things up there!

Is the Tank integrated into the boiler or will I need space for a separate tank too?

I did some reading on here and a few people with 4-5 bed houses with young families said this was the size they would need...? I take it I need a minimum flow rate for an unvented system: is it higher than the rate needed for a combi?
