ooop, sorry I obv didn't read the post -AT ALL!! SB :oops:

12V transformers here http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LTYT50.html You may be able to change them to GU10's (mains halogens - I'm guessing this is what you mean?) - but you will need to be able to by pass the transformers and it will depend on the type of light fitting you have -...

those style of lights are getting on a bit now, so it could be that the fittings are starting to fail. That said, cheap bulbs won't help and also you need to make sure you screw them in really nice and tight - much tighter than you think If I were you I'd try one more time with some decent...

thanks TTC - I always prefer to buy new, but if I can't get hold of any I'll go to ebay

if they are 12V lamps (bulbs) then it's probably the transformers that need replaceing

I have a tried and trusted rule.... the cheaper the light fitting the more I charge to fit it.... works every time SB

OK thanks folks - I'll try WF

Any idea where I can get these from as new? I thought they were sold at Wickes but just checked then they only sell Clipsal Thanks in advance SB

maybe it's at the request of his missus...

Move the plasterboard fixings to a different position and.or try and find a joist to fix on to

I'm with Crystal - 16mm oval and shove the bonding cable into the front end, tape over then then you can use the cable to 'lift' the nose of the conduit if you need to hop over any obstructions (rubble, pipes, dead rats...) And being white it's much easier to spot than a cable rod

If not all circuits in the bathroom are going to be RCD protected (which it sounds like they're not) then you'll need to install supplementary bonding or at least check that it's properly in place. T'would also be much better to install RCD protection for the shower at the Consumer Unit as...

surely if it's plasterboard it's much much easier and quicker to use one of these?? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DR68482.html

these are good and direct replacement, and dimmable. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Lighting_Menu_Index/Lamps_and_Tubes_Index/LEDlite_LED_Dim/index.html You may need to change the dimmer switch though to a lower load one - see the link Neutral white is the way to go - warm white...

why not ring a few of your competitors posing as a potential customer and see what their hourly rates are? Then see if your business plan stacks up on the same or less rates. Once you get established and recommended for work word of mouth, then you can put your rates up BTW I generally price...

Just for info, when I first started out, a customer with a 60A main fuse asked me to install a 50A shower. I said 'you need to get the DNO out to check and probably upgrade the fuse' They duly came, sucked teeth and said, 'just get on with it and don't bother us again....'

these do if you use the compatible dimmer...all my customers have been mighty pleased with them so far http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Lighting_Menu_Index/Lighting_Downlights_Index/LEDlite_Downlights/index.html

Hi there My cat was just sick on my stair carpet (yeuch!). I blotted as much of it up as I could but there is still a stain. What should I do? I understand that getting it wet is a no no. I heard that putting baking powder on it and hoovering it up several times can work Any other ideas...

whats the wattage of the bulb? If it's less than 60W then most dimmer don't like this as they require 60 W min load

It looks like you've run a Cpc from the back of the conduit box but it seems rather small. How did you work out the size? .
