I don't think I'd be remotely concerned about the tiny bit of copper showing in the fuseholder compared to that massive amount of cable. Get some tape round it, it'll be 'reet

What did he do about the 30mm of bare copper showing underneath the fuse carrier from the PILC? The fuse carrier would be the least of my concern? And where the hell did he even find that isolator? It's an MEM enclosure (or rip off of), with some other isolator in it. MEM haven't made that...

One photo does not do it justice. You gotta look closely to fully appreciate it, but there's henley blocks throughout the trunking, no hint of grommet strip or paxolin anywhere, that isolator doesn't shut. Oh and of course there's no lid to put back on. We put a quote in to rectify it but you...

If it's the EXACT fitting in the image, then you'd have to cut an L shaped hole where the screw hole is and then twist it on but it's hardly ideal. You'd have to get the screws exactly the right tightness. Or you forget the bracket entirely and drill two fixing holes in the front, then find...

Ooops

Yea exactly. But because the suppliers fitter was unable to seal it, it doesn’t comply with 24(2) of the ESQCR so needs either sealing or replacing. Technically the meter fitters report should get passed along to the DNO but in reality, that may not happen for weeks, if at all. I’m not sure...

I'd be inclined to report the service head to your DNO. Clearly doesn't comply if the seal is a bit of peeling off tape. You might get a nice new head out of the deal. And yea I'd be tidying that all up at the first opportunity.

Even the after picture is making my eyes bleed :eek: Nearly as bad as this

Yes, thanks for that helpful nugget. How about actually expanding on that and making it a useful post for once?

All I mean is some muppet has used silicone or caulk to either tidy the finish or hold the rings up - hence your difficulty in getting them out. Any IP65 rated downlight fitting will be fine - I would go for something with a built in LED so you don't need to change them for a LONG time but it's...

In short, no. They’re like that in a bathroom so steam etc doesn’t get into the roof/floor rot the timbers. You can get them with bezels that aren’t siliconed on so you can’t get them off though

I wouldn't get any of those, I'd get one of these http://enlitelighting.com/gb/ProductDetail/EN-FLHV50 Available in black or white and WW or CW

That was my point

But it also says on the varilight website "Suitable for 12V a.c. LEDs up to a maximum of 25W"

Do the cables definitely come down? If a 'normal house' one would expect the cables to come up from the floor if the bedroom is on the first floor. Obviously not always the case and if it's a flat/bungalow more than 2 storey house it could be totally different.

Maybe the stuff we get is just 6181Y, having looked again at the spec sheets, it seems unlikely to be 6381Y. It has 14 strands as opposed to the standard 7 in normal 6181Y. I might have a meter or two left over so I’ll see if I can see some markings on it at some point They’re described as...

I’m fairly sure one of our wholesalers has 6381Y on the shelf - didn’t realise it was any different until I started working with it and it’s a dream. About twice as many strands as standard 6181Y but easier to dress and even cut

We use these about 50% of the time (depends which wholesaler we're buying from). There's a little potentiometer on the side that lets you adjust the dim level - set the dimmer all the way down and then slowly adjust the screw to your desired brightness - job done. You can even keep your...

Yea they may be passing behind it but can’t be fixed to the board very well then! Love the bend on the PILC too!

Do you know what dimmer it is? I suspect if it’s not dim enough for you, the dimmer is not set up correctly. When I set up an Aurora dimmer with Aurora fittings, the lowest I get it set is about as bright as a candle, so it can be done.
