The reliability of UK Socket-Outlets seems often to come-up on this site! Being in Australia, I have no experience with UK socket-outlets. However, we have (basically) only two choices of socket-outlets in this country - Clipsal (a Schneider Company) and HPM (a Legrand Company). My...

A PAR 38 LED Lamp (e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=par38+led&crid=2RGD17YJK1AD0&sprefix=par38+led+,aps,357&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 ) (Pick one with a narrow beam angle) mounted in a Swivel Lamp Holder and Base. (e. g...

"A sconce or wall light is a decorative light fixture that is mounted to a wall." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sconce_(light_fixture)#:~:text=A sconce or wall light,lobby of a luxury hotel ) That which you appear to have are Pendants.

Thank you. However, it is just a case of "Seek and ye shall find." Many US Citizens appear to think that the US changed Imperial measures to US Customary - for some reason - little knowing that they are just the Pre-Revolutionary BRITISH measures. On a somewhat related topic, did you know...

Well, NO. They still use the BRITISH measurement system which was in use in 1776. - Winchester Measures - and now call them US Customary Measures. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_measure ) When the UK (and its Colonies) changed to Imperial Measures in 1826 the US did not change...

Radial Circuits are almost universal - everywhere. It is the Ring Circuits which are peculiar to the UK, ex British Colonies - and Saudi Arabia ! Elsewhere, they are (mostly) not allowed. To extend this story a bit further, Australia based its Electrical Regulations largely on those of the UK...

Except that the Video ought to refer to two-way and intermediate/crossover switches, for the benefit for those who actually realize that a SPDT switch is two-way switch - not three-way - (although it has three terminals - as do most UK switches) and an Intermediate/Crossover switch is a...

Use the "Ohms Scale" on the multimeter (which you must have) to check the connections between each of the four terminals when the Intermediate/Crossover switch is in either of its TWO positions.

Just install PAR38 LEDs in appropriate ES Fittings (See https://www.amazon.com.au/par38-led/s?k=par38+led )

I strongly suggest that you try one or two.. Here is an extract from an information piece Filament LEDs. First patented in 2008, but developed largely since 2015, are “Filament LEDs”. The LED “filament” consists of multiple series-connected LEDs on a transparent substrate, A benefit of the...

The center contact of an ES socket should be connected to the Line.

Unless it is a LED filament lamp, which has the control equipment in the base. The base and any full sized ES holder acts as a heat-sink.

There are also 5 V USB versions. If you look at this site for a start (and go on from there) you should be able to obtain most of the items which you seek. https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-led-strip-kit.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.auto_suggest.1.3e3eTi5YTi5Yiy The Current/Wattage is usually...

Use rechargeable batteries !

I don't know about you but I cook most of the vegetables in the microwave - in minutes. Stove top used mainly for Frying or Boiling Pasta.

Spuggy Since you ran a cable from the switch to the outside light, can you get a 2 core/earth from a Box, Switch or Ceiling Light Rose where there is Line, Neutral and Ground, to that Switch Point. (You may not have a Line at that switch, either. The connection on the Common terminal may be...

In the UK and North America, it seems to be the PRACTICE to state a "Wattage", which is actually the Wattage of an Incandescent Lamp of equivalent Brightness. In other words - an Incandescent Wattage Equivalent - although the word Equivalent is often omitted - or in very small type.

You mean 4000 K - which is a WHITE Colour Temperature. 5000 K would be Cool White 6000 K would be Daylight 3000 K would be Warm White 800 Lumens is approximately the brightness of an efficient 60 W Incandescent Lamp.

4000 K is now my preferred Colour Temperature. 2700 K (to me) is a Sickly Yellow 3000 K is just OK - sometimes.
