Hi Just curious re: If I am having 6 lights will this then mean I will end up with 6 J/Bs if so is this a problem. Should I try to minimise the number of J/Bs on the circuit? Thanks

Hi Thanks for the info as always top draw... Here is the link to the 12 v lights http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=20001&catalogId=1500000701&langId=-1&searchTerms=724458 With the 240v lights as there they are double insulated they dont as for an earth to...

Hi looking at putting some spotlights in my bedroom and have found two potenetial sets I am thinking of buying. Both of these are double insulated however one set it 12v and another 230v. I was hoping for a bit of advise re: 1. What are generally better, I am under the impression 230v are...

Got it cheers

Great thanks for this. However being keen to learn I am entriged how the diagram in http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/3333/fandiagram.jpg would be wired in 3 core + earth when we are dealing with a loop in / loop out light. Are we saying The Feed In goes to > FCU > Switch > Isolator > Light...

Thanks for this info guys, yep I meant 20w...fat fingers.. I have a 3 pole isolator, the instructions do not mention an FCU so I am unclear why I would need one if I wire as per the original diagram.

Hi Apologies in advance, yet another post on this subject. Although I have received some confusing advise and wanted to get some feedback. I have purchased a 20A fan for my bathroom and was going to wire up as per image: http://www.diynot.com/network/levstar/albums/ With one exception in...

Thanks, how much would I be expecting to pay for a periodic inspection ?

Could be a rewire I guess although don't have the money for this at this stage, although the circuit is RCD protected from a safety perspective.

Cool Thanks

I have recently replaced some sockets in my house, in doing so I have come across bare stranded earth conductors which I have now placed sleeve over is this normal and safe to have a bare earth conductor? Also on one of the sockets I have noticed a small nik in the live conductor. I can not...

Thanks for all the information on this guys, this gives me a few options. Just as a parting query I have a copy of the regs as I am doing the 2330 as we speak, but I couldnt seem to see too much info re Junctiuon Boxes. Can you point me in the right direction re: Thanks once again for...

Cheers guys, all useful stuff. Not sure how easy it will be to pull the cable through to acheive this. Also I only have one channel chased with 20mm conduit for the cable, is it permittable to run the two legs of T+E in one peice of conduit to supply the new socket or do I need to chase...

Great stuff, the new double socket is intended for TV and DVD, maybe the occassional use of a Hair dryer (not for me I might add). However I am now wondering would it be better / more compliant to break into the other leg (i.e the leg that goes straight to the back of the socket) with a newr...

Hi Thanks for this, however I think the JB is a spur from what I can see, maybe I have not articulated this too good :lol: One leg from the ring final feeds a socket in the bedroom. The other leg from the socket is then broken by the JB. One feed goes off to the Central Heating feed...

The circuit is a Ring Final. It looks as though: The double socket previously was just part of the ring. When the central heating has been installed they have used a junction box to break into the circuit. I take it this counts as an unfused / fused spur (TBC), which I thought was allowed...

Hi, I was going to add an unfused spur in my bedroom from a double socket to supply another double socket, I am aware that I can do this only once. However on further investigation I have found: The socket I was going to spur off has 4 way 30 amp Junction box connected. The Junction box...

The property is a house and has a finished downstairs, the job I started was a simple decorate and warddrobe instal. After a query re lightiing, on investigation in the loft the main feed from to the CU seems to run down the cavity and under a load of boards I was not intending to lift. I am...
