    Bathroom downlights have no earth?

    I didn't think you could buy Halogen GU10's that were 12V? I thought they were all MR16s? I can't find my multimeter at the moment, however there are 2x GU10 Halogens and 1x Philips LED bulb in there. I'm sure its a 240v setup. Behind one of the lights, I've just found the twin & earth grey...

    Bathroom downlights have no earth?

    I'm just about to swap out our bathroom downlights, primarily the one above the shower cubicle because its rusted with some Aurora M Pro's. Whoever did the bathroom last, I'm not sure what they were playing at but the downlight that is already there is a standard, non IP65 GU10 lamp. The cable...

    Texecom Shock Sensor Sensitivity

    It's a wireless shock sensor so no wiring. It's a 3 pane window, the device is screwed through the screw holes into the window frame above the middle window For reference its a Texecom, the GBC-0001 I think it is

    Texecom Shock Sensor Sensitivity

    Well tapping with a screw driver, knuckles or fist makes no difference! They all report the same damn thing

    Texecom Shock Sensor Sensitivity

    I'm trying to configure a Texecom Shock Sensor, but I'm having a bit of a nightmare. In the guide, it says a firm tap, so it hit the window with my fist to simulate something like a football hitting it. If I am on low range but high sensitivity, I get a green light which indicates its not...

    Linking garden lights?

    Is there a special way to go about linking garden lights? They all come with a 3 core tail, however i need to chain these together over quite a distance.

    Shower pump turns in when cold water ran downstairs?

    The only thing that is actually fed from the header tank is the bath, shower pump and both upstairs toilets Fortunately, if you're taking a shower, you probably won't be flushing the toilet! Everything else is from the mains supply. w/m, d/w etc are all cold feeds I'm not sure what size the...

    Shower pump turns in when cold water ran downstairs?

    Ah, I never thought about that. Where would the check valve be fitted in the system?

    Shower pump turns in when cold water ran downstairs?

    Must have been a lot of air in the system, one of the shower pretty much just exploded on me! Seems to be sorted now though!

    Shower pump turns in when cold water ran downstairs?

    OK, i'll give it a go. I thought air would have come into play somewhere, but thought that was the whole point of the flange. I don't really know how the air would have gotten in their though. The only way for air to get in there would have been via the header tank, but I can't imagine that...

    Shower pump turns in when cold water ran downstairs?

    Well the second part makes sense regarding the pump giving a blast, but why would it only just start? EDIT: Can confirm point 2 is correct. Its only on the hot water when stopped suddenly. I dont understand why this would happen though as the flange would stop the water from going to the...

    Shower pump turns in when cold water ran downstairs?

    Updated with a diagram. Essentially, tap downstairs is turned on and when turned off, the pump blasts for a second

    Shower pump turns in when cold water ran downstairs?

    We've had our shower pump installed for almost a year, and before that the previous owners had 2 separate pumps for the ensuite and main bathroom. We haven't changed the pipe layout and the only thing we did was install a flange for the hot water in the tank. Yesterday when both showers were...

    Momentary switch modules?

    I've just double checked and the Nexus range are the BG ones but they also offer a grid system with a press switch so that solves my problem :) Thanks

    Momentary switch modules?

    Thanks. Similar situation as it looks like I'll need to get a Varlight housing and a 1 way retractive switch module as its not something that can be replaced from behind

    Momentary switch modules?

    I've got the ( BG) Nexus range chrome switches throughout my house, however I need a momentary switch and they don't seem to sell them. Is it possible to buy a momentary style module and swap out a normal switch like you can do with dimmers? I've had a look around and it seems to answer is...

    Attaching earth to brass banjo?

    I can't remember to be honest. Was on a forum, something about having to use brass and not steel

    Attaching earth to brass banjo?

    I've got to the point where I am earthing inside a plastic housing and I need to earth my Swa gland. I know I need to crimp the earth and the screw and nut it to the banjo, but can anyone point me in the right direction for a 20S? I read that you can't just use any metal bolt and lug. The...
