TBH the holes are that small that it wont need replastered, certainly on ones I have put in. Almost the size of a hair strand, paintt just filled it. Patience is the key in fitting them :lol:

I've fitted these these in the past 1mm drill bit, 100's of holes, a lot of F'in & B'in and job was a goodun :lol: I wired a socket above the ceiling, and controlled the unit via a remote control switch (lazy) :D

I'd just go with the cheaper ones. You'll need to ensure the new fittings will fit the existing holes.

You can only have one socket "spurred" from your 30A fuse. Are there any spare ways in your fuse box that you could connect the radial circuit to? One way to make it safer is to put the lot in a 20 fuse, not ideal and may not be suitable for your power consumption but that way the cables will...

The hook (which they sell separately for some reason) will be fixed to the ceiling after you completely remove your ceiling rose - base and cover. Ideally there should be a joist you can screw into to avoid using plasterboard fixings I'm presuming its a plaster ceiling and not concrete? Are...

Yes they were now you mention it!! Your right but being a scotsman I grudge paying that for lamps (or anything) even when it will save ££ in long run. :lol:

Few months back I fitted GU10 LED lamps in a persons house, they were bought from B&Q, in a silver packet, I was surprised as LED's are normally crap but these were pretty good. Cant remember the name of them but I was told they were £13 a pop and she had bought 6 of them. A lot of £££ for a...

As above, if your D.B's not got/cant take RCD protection in it that will need to be addressed. Also think about any lighting you may want under/above the units. Costing depends on alot of factors, its very difficult to quote a job if you cant see it. If its brick walls all the boxes will need...

some sort of mix up with emergency lighting wiring maybe? Warm or freezing? :lol:

Can you carry out an Insulation resistance test to ensure the cables haven't been damaged?

Phone/write to some of the bigger companies in Glasgow. Glendale Electrical, H.F. Electrical, Mcgills, E.M Mackenzie, Forth Elec. Services (FES) are a few I know of. The problem is that any apprenticeship spots that have prpbably already been filled because the college term starts in august.

I'm sure it will be fine! The OP just wants to stick 6 spots in, 300w max.

Shouldn't be a problem putting it in to existing cooker point.

you might get more luck posting in the alarm section mate.

another stab in the dark, fecked ballast/choke!

Was meant tongue in cheek, thanks for pointing it out though, makes all the difference :roll:

Ideally you want to change the cooker point (CCU) to a switched FCU( spur), or replace with a single socket and put a plugtop on it. I'm presuming rating of the cooker is 13amps? If all else fails read the instructions :lol:

If i've got a lot of this stuff to cut I usually use a chop saw with a blade thats suitable for plastic cutting. Gets it straight as a dye everytime, quick and simple. Im also lazy btw :lol:

I'm never a fan of crimps, they never feel totally "right". I know its seems the preferred method of joints but atleast with decent connector block you know you can get a solid sound connection.
