Yup :wink:

If you want to use a wall plate, use a double wall plate and connect the correct socket to the right socket on the booster, if you know what i mean. aerial - wallplate - cable - booster(in) living room - wallplate - cable - booster(out)...

He's talking about the benefits of different transformer setups, he also said to join the mains cable to a more heat resistant mains cable before connecting to the mains downlighters.

twin and earth !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! dont forget about part p

Have a look at my topic in electrics outside of UK. Any other "good" pics from that spark's work?

wanted to know if it looks the same. We need pictures and you need a multi meter. So, when you take your piccies tomorrow, go and buy a multi meter.

found this on the net:

Did you have a look at my link?

mcbs just cut the live, the main switch on the CU will cut the live and neutral and I am GUESSING that this is the problem.

:shock: Shouldn't take the risk of having the mains on, or was this earlier today? Check the bulbs in the current fitting, they are most likely to be SELV. It sounds like each light has it's own transformer and the supply from these transformers can be used to power the mains light. If it...

talking of magic stuff, why do you love SWA? (out of interest)

was there a mains cable connected to it?

you could talk with a spark who will be doinf the rewire. If you have some knowledge of circuits and what you want in your house, then it is possible for you to do the chasing and wiring, but it is always a good idea to talk with the spark first. re: part p, the spark will do all the testing...

I'll go ahead with my "bodge" then. I'll place a note in the back box that there is a compression joint about 10cm above it. I'll forget the heat-shrink and use only the self a42685686ing tape instead.

crimping sounds better than using a screwed connector and making it inaccesible. Replacing the cable, really is a problem.

Would it be better not to use heatshrink then???

Because they look clumsy, it's a bodge? The crimp joins the cable properly. The heatshrink insulates the cores and the self a42685686ing tape provides the second layer of insulation and protects from moisture. What am I missing? Would you not plaster over it because you think the plaster...

if the smell is the problem :lol: air freshener is much more effective than an extractor fan, I think.

It seems, that your light has been looped in at the switch.The black ones, go together in a piece of connector strip. The earths should not be twisted together, but still put in the earth terminal. The reds, are the problem because one will be the supply cable to another light, are you sure...

piccy? Take a picture so we can see what you are talking about.
