yes you can use one core as permanent live and link across to the other switch. The other two cores are then your 2 switched lives. Don't forget to mark each core as LINE (with brown sleeving)

I'm sure they'll post them to you if you ask nicely - they're only 'ickle

You can get fire rated tilt recessed lights - such as here http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FRSG10W.html You'll be better off for it as otherwise all sorts of dirt/dead insects end up in the lights

Or trunking and then wallpaper over it... classy!

as PBoD says just make sure that all junction boxes are accessible. better to have as few as possible though - less things to go wrong!

I think you've answered your question - two RCD's on same circuit in effect will trip How on earth did you wire up the rcbo under test safely???

here you go.... http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/AP603.html

EDF (as was) will never provide a 'free' earth. If you can get them to strap onto the lead sheath expect to pay at least £250 + VAT. An earth rod might be an easier (or the only) option, but then you'd be looking a board upgrade..... Good luck!

I doubt they'll replace it - you could always do IR test to see how cables are. How is the property earthed then??? I would say it's up to you to earth (bond) the metal 'tube'.

Have any changes been made recently on that circuit? eg new light, new switch? That would be my first point of investigation

And depending on your location your supplier may not be at all interested in fitting an isolating switch

Good man! Ifi t's just in a pantry, why not fit something like these? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Lighting_Menu_Index/Bulkhead_Internal_Index/Bulk_Drum/index.html Or even this http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GLOL415W.html

was it the circuit breaker you tripped or the RCD? If the latter this might just be because you accidentally touched neutral and earth together - even if the circuit if off this will happen and not anything to worry about. If it wasn't the RCD - did you get a shock? Was the circuit...

it's all in the wrist action.... You need to push in the fuse carrier pretty firmly and quite far - it will give a little 'click' and then screw up tight SB

You may find that you are too close to a joist to fit the down light as pendants are generally fixed to them. You will need to move the down light as per the manufacturers instructions - but normally min 50mm from joist. Do not fit it any closer - I've seen a number of joists charred due to heat...

many thanks for replied folks! SB

Sorry if this is a dumb question - it's been a long old week http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Images/Products/size_3/LASL28430CL.JPG Cheers SB

can I ask what on earth you have in your sofa that requires a transfomer? I'm intrigued :D SB

I think you need to get an electrician in with some test equipment - they will be able to trace the problem - but might also want to upgrade to RCD protection for the sauna before reconnecting - I know I would!

and more - it depends on size of property, no of circuits and location of property (ie London/SE more £). And just because you have 4 fuses doesn't mean you only have four circuits -I've seen up to 5 sharing a lighting fuse and 2 or 3 on a socket one!
