So do you reckon it's got faulty ? And needs explaining with a different type ?

I've attached a pic. There are 2 unused terminals. It's been working for atleast 2 years and no there isn't any switch.

There's a transformer connected to my Consumer Unit. I believe its 12-24v Always worked until a couple of months ago but now I have to keep charging the battery for the ring door bell to work . Not sure if the transformer is gone or what. I used a martindale V28 voltage tester. On the...

I just got one as a gift. Thought I'd see the uses etc.

Thanks that sounds like a great idea. Do you have a link of basic electrics .. so much info out there. Some more to do with electronics instead of electrics. Then some more US related instead of UK.

Thanks mate. Really appreciate all that info

Hello guys I've managed to get a martindale 2 poll tester. Can someone please explain how to use it ? Ie sockets and lighting? Or a decent youtube showing it. I think the sole purpose of it is to see if there's voltage going through it and there is a live circuit ? Thanks

Is it worth getting a smart meter put in the house by energy company ?

Okay I was merely stating that the course could be 2 or 3 years. I didn't need to do the first year so mine became a 2 year course . If you haven't got a minimum of level 3 already you need to do the 3 year course. Anyways thanks for the clarity

It's a pretty simple answer if you already have any qualifications above level 3 ie A Levels , degree which is a level 6. I have both. You then don't need to do level 1...

What has this got to do with spotlights mate?

Your not being mean mate. The course only offered from level 2. If you have A levels in anything else. You don't need to do level 1. Level 1 and 2 are similar they say. I have done alot of DIY before. But not change consumer units etc.

Blimey, can't believe it wasn't done correctly in the face place. Is it a big job to get an RCD CU put in ?

Thank you that's a great insight and makes logical sense!

I just wanted to know . Thanks for that. I guess there must've been a time when there weren't any regs on this and it was okay to do.... but yeah ofcourse things change.

Yes i started at year 2. I've only been doing it for a couple of months.

So I will need to put a new Circuit board in before I'm allowed to add the spot lights? Is that purely from h/s perspective ? Or legislation/regulations etc?

Thanks for that. It hasn't caused any issues of yet. So I'll leave that for now. Hopefully revisit in the very near future.

Thanks for that. I'll Google that

So many different playlists from different guys. I'll have to just watch a vid or 2 for all of them and see which suits me.
