Hi all.. Missus wants downlights outside the garage, I'm ok wiring the actual lights just wondering how you would go about getting power to them etc.... and I know this is a really simple job for a proper spark! Few picks.. the DB is in the garage aswell.

So this.. which is all next day and UK distributor.

I've been quoted £450 for installation of 2 x 5mps Hikvision cameras with DVR and monitor.. what do you think? Other than that it's buy the set up myself, drill each side of the house and run the cables, but the DVR would have to be plugged in the 5amp socket in the loft and I'd have to use a...

Thanks Woody.. I'm getting them out to look at it.

New Build pal.. it's brick and mortar and timer framed roof joists

Thanks Woody.. does it look okay though the way they have done it ?

Hi, I'm still having issues with the front bedroom getting cold at the front of the house, if you look at the picture it is directly below where the gable end is.. I got in the loft last night and it looks like it is just brick then a slab of insulation.. whereas the side gables are brick...

Yeah.. I don't want the cameras too high and can get easy access to both sides of the house in the loft.. so I'll drill through each side and drop two cables down each, bring down and split to either side of the house. Thanks for your help pal.. any CCTV systems you would recommend? I was...

Just got up.. the gable end at the front I can access.. question though this is above my little boys room that is always cold and we have fought to no avail with Morris homes.. looking at the pictures it's just brick then insulation.. shouldn't that also have breeze block?

I will have a look again in the loft.. might sound daft but it looks straight along that side.. no gable wall?

Hi, Forgive me if I'm being stupid, I'm looking at get CCTV.. I wanted to get the RING set up but the spotlight cam can only be plugged in ( I wanted to wire it to the existing floodlight circuit ) and if I cut the plug off it voids the warranty. Plus I'm not keen on a subscription. So my...

Cheers lads.. yeah got a couple of whiska boxes on the walls for floods so it's either com off them, or get in the loft and drill outside.. and come of the lighting circuit?

Hi, Haven't bought it yet, but just wondered if I'm okay wiring it from the junction box the Sec Floods are already on? Or would anyone reccomend the battery powered versions? Thanks as always!!

Got the tester and tested from the socket.... the 63a RCD works fine.. tripping from the socket at 25ms and tripping at 18ma.. Must of been static and my girly hands.. Thanks for the replies lads

It was only quick.. but felt more than a normal static shock.. I'll test it all once I get the Multimeter to make sure

Yes I know.. but the exterior has a build in RCD

Hi Rcd protection on the exterior socket and on the circuit at the board... I used a good socket tester not a cheap one and it's saying all perfect.. I'm begining to think it was a big build up of static

Hi Frodo, I was thinking it may of been a build up of static, I had the battery powered hand held hoover cleaning it all and hoovered the socket face plate as it had dust on it.. I felt a slight tingle when doing this and used my other hand to touch the plate and got the shock.. was it just a...

Yeah it had a fly lead to the box, I'll get the tester and see what happens. It's a strange one as it only happened once the Neutral broke?? And was fine as soon as I fixed it?
