Often the power to the third room comes from the second room via the round bases mounted on the ceiling, it is quite common for a cable to come adrift if it was loose in the first place, usually after its disturbed

Thanks I was a bit concerned putting 12v across the leds as thought may be a bit much. I bought them a few years back and never fitted them till now and when I plugged in the controller it screeches and no lights. It did start to work briefly for a few minute's and I quickly checked It...

There's also a possibility there was wall lights at one time, also look for 2 amp sockets at low level sometimes installed for table lamps

I'm not sure its possible to wire the 3 cables as they are and work as you describe if there was 2 switchlines for your 2 lights. Yes you could wire it wrong to get 1 switch doing both lights on/off as normal but the second switch would always turn off 1 light whilst the first switch is on...

I have some decklights and controller has conked out. This controller was fed with 18vdc I also have plenty of power supplies mostly 12 volt dc and also ones for lower dc Voltages. Each light has 4 wires and , I'm quessing from bits found on internet 1 wire is +ve and the other 3 are -ve for...

May be a daft question but what would be the consequences of just fitting coax plugs on each end, of a cat5 cable say 2 pairs for the outer amd one pair for the core pin

If unable to resolve the simplest way is to use one standard type dimmer and one standard 2 way switch, may not give the look you desired and will obviously only adjust at one point but without going down a more complex route of master and slaves or WiFi, your existing wiring is likely to...

I think your right, it looks like a new cut out on a. Old cable, I wonder if that stuff is serping off the actual cable

Lampholders used to be marked T1 or T2 but was usually inside and barely visible, it was quite common for one type .to burn out with the old !50W tungsten lamps. The weight is also determined by the flex size, there's actually a Table in the regs for that. It's also a useless fact that a...

Would it need Earthing ? I assume it's no more than 24VOLT

The post suggests to me it's only 1 cable, so possibly already a spur.

The cef one was on the ceiling and as you say the pir side worked fine however the timer was only about 5 seconds unlike the 20 minutes quoted in the instructions. That also said you need a remote? to adjust them which was no help

The "code " on them is actually the UK postcode and it does indeed come up with Prime light who are actually a Uk company, amongst other businesses in that area in North London. NW10. Though may originally not be of uk origin. They are on brand new fittings on a site, I have yet to...

Screwfix do them quite cheap BG WP22 and often on offer, about 12 pound a unit, this week there actually £9.99 though the Bg white socket alone that fits Inside uses just 2 screws and removed in seconds is about 4 quid as its got neons bit harder to get though, if you can go without the neons...

Dependant on the type of flex used, its been in the regs since the 17th edition that ferrules should be used on certain types of fine or multistrand wire

How do you adjust this, I had similar from cef once and the instructions said you need a remote. This one has no instructions Yes I know I could contact prime light or Google the postcode and go there and ask :giggle:

A hager j803 junction box as it needs to be maintenance free as it is inaccessible, bear in mind if the box or any of the cable is less than 50mm deep it will still need to remain in a safe zone once the initial sockets removed

The female version is better, a short bit of rigid conduit to join it to the besa box, then screw the flexi glands that Harry suggests into the thread, throwing the bush aside

If the box is still sound you can get just the guts in the same brand snd fit it in your housing for a fraction of the cost. Bg snd mk are the common types and can be easilyb swopped out in the old box once removed, takes about 2 minutes
