Sealed cans with no ventilation. Failure is inevitable.

Vented are the old type containing a heating element and a fan which blows the hot air over the clothes and then out through a hole in the wall. Very few dryers available now are that type, their only benefit is that they are the cheapest to buy. Condensing are the same thing with an added...

If these 'spotlights' have enclosed cans, the LEDs are overheating and will fail quickly regardless of what brand they are.

Either go electric or go petrol. Hybrids are the worst of both bundled up into a package of complex failure. The peak of hybrid cars was 15+ years ago. Old technology that only persists so that car makers can continue selling combustion engines for a few more years. As for diesel - forget...

Yes. It's a £10 item. Fit once, works for years. Should it eventually fail, the top can be removed and replaced in seconds, no tools required. https://www.toolstation.com/electronic-ip44-photocell-kit/p62528 Does not need any internet connection, WiFi, phone apps, talking spyboxes, remote...

A sensor that activates the lights when it's dark. Not one that responds to moving objects.

Pretty much. Earthing was required to metal cases and metal frames of equipment, but not to anything which was all insulated. That is from the 8th edition, 1924. Lighting circuits were not a special case - anything else that didn't require earthing wouldn't have an earth conductor such as...

in which case you certainly do not need a Any low end mediocre audio producing device will be more than adequate for reproducing Spotify streamed slop.

There will be a clip or slot at one edge, may have to push the inner white ring upwards to see it. If not then it rotates 1/4 turn or so and will drop down. They are plaster in efforts and are installed/removed from below. Similar to this:

L brown N blue to the supply terminals, E to the separate E terminal. Black wire to HW On #3 Grey wire to CH On #4 The brown links are internal on the new one so not required, the other 'off' terminals #1 and #2 are not used.

That will not be happening. What will happen and is already happening is that those who insist on sticking with old meters will pay a fixed high rate where all of the units are the same high price all of the time. Those with smart meters have a selection of cheaper tariffs to choose from...

No, it will make no difference at all. Which will continue unless you decide to change that arrangement.

Wago connectors are designed for one wire per terminal hole. The connector bottom right of the picture with the brown wires is broken and will need to be replaced.

No. They have more in them than a traditional type so theoretically more things that could go wrong - but that doesn't make then inherently unreliable. The extra components are those found in any refrigerator or freezer, and no one would claim those are unreliable. They do take longer to dry...

A selection: https://meterboxesuk.co.uk/product-category/free-standing-electric-meter-box/ Pricing is individual to the works. You contact Northern Powergrid, tell them what you want and they tell you how much.

Theoretically, but this really depends on whether the supply for temporary purposes is the same as the permanent one, which all depends on what is being built. For a single domestic dwelling perhaps. No idea what the OP is intending to build there.

As a smart switch, yes it can turn lights on and off, once you have installed it, connected it to whatever network it requires, set up whatever app(s) it needs and configured those appropriately, and then set up/installed/configured whatever else to determine whether it's daytime or night, and...

Gas meter displays are always blank until a button is pressed. Failed from new or it's not connected to the electricity meter. If one of those is really wanted or desired then get a new one from Octopus. Otherwise unplug it and never look at it again. They are mostly useless. Bills, pricing...

Rather obviously that sensor needs a cable to it. One cable. There is no 'out of the garage into this, and then into the first light'. Connections between the sensor cable, the supply and one or more lights can be done inside the garage.
