Thank you. could I check please, would this work? (the website i got the lights from is out of stock so this is an eBay special)

Amazing. Thank you. My knowledge of electrics is zero (hence you having to correct my language) so at least I know now that I need a more powerful supply!

The ‘power supply’ is from a different set of lights. They weren’t supplied together.

I was sort of hoping it would be as easy as someone saying the transformer isn’t powerful enough. but good to know they should work with that. the mystery continues!

Thanks. Yeh they’re definitely in correctly. I can screw the cap. Is the transformer underpowered for the lights ? Could that be causing the issue?

Early I know, but I got some new lights ages ago in advance of Christmas this year and I finally got round to testing them. to cut a very long story short, these are interconnecting fairy lights (image of the connection terminals attached) and I have a transformer to plug into the string of...

thanks for that - sounds like a recipe for disaster! is there another way for me to access behind the soffit that is easier? how do cctv installers put cameras up on it without tearing down the entire roof?

hi guys, how do i remove a soffit? nothing wrong with it - i want to fix some cctv cabling behind it and replace with the existing unit. just havent got a clue how to pull it down! FYI it looks like the one based on the image attached. No visible screws or anything! thanks James

Hi all Now the inside of the house is almost there i'm keen to tackle the garden. The lawn is in an OK state. It's quite patchy in areas, few bald spots, grass is quite thin in places and thick in others. Also soil is very compact and hard. I did have a huge bald spot which i've just treated...

Hi all I have just had some new internal doors fitted and they are currently unfinished. I’m now looking at the best way to paint the doors so they are in the best place for the long term. The doors will be painted white and the doors are solid oak (oak veneer). At the minute they have had no...
