As stated in the original post I would be fitting these with 50W 240V GU10 halogen bulbs as in the item description and not LED bulbs as in the picture. My question still stands, why are some fittings dimmable and others not given the same bulb type?

Looking at buying some spotlights for the kitchen and want them to be dimmable. Notice that Homebase do a range that all use GU10 50W 240V Halogen bulbs and some of them state that they are dimmable and others don't. Question is, what makes the light fitting dimmable given the same bulb type...

I did. It's open vent. Kitchen cupboard is 335mm deep and 900mm high. Width up to 600mm Thanks, Chris

Well, I thought by saying what my existing boiler was would aid the thought process. Anyway, I thought this was a DIY forum designed to help people, like myself, better their knowledge and understanding. (There's a clue in the url address!). Please stay off this thread Tony. Your...

Sorry, I can't live like that. Need to understand options myself prior to instructing a plumber, and hence this thread..

Want to replace my ageing glow-worm Ultimate 70FF open-vent boiler with something new. What are your recommendations please? Think my 70FF is about a 22kW output boiler.. (My house is detached with 14 rads)... Not interested in going combi as like the stored water. Needs to fit inside a...

Excellent idea, thanks. Already found a nice blue one from Maplin's outlet.. :D TBH, was struggling to find a high enough rated transformer to drive the rubbolite. Looked at low voltage halogen transformers (kind used in kitchen lighting) which are readily available in ~150VA but they've...

I want to run a Rubbolite 150 (orange emergency flashy light), which is designed for installation on top of a car/van, inside my boys bedroom off mains 240v. He's obsessed with nee-nars at the moment!! The light has a 12V 55W bulb and small motor to turn the mirror round. Allowing a few...

I thought the motorised heads were simply plug compatible, put whatever monkey wired the house up 12 years ago decided against that! Just open the two plugs up and noticed wiring is different! Now have CH working on timer, and HW under manual control till replacement part arrives...

With both CH and HW off at timer, both valves are closed but orange wire from CH head remains live (high). Disconnecting orange wire causes pump to turn off. :) Must conclude a broken microswitch in CH motorised valve. As a temporary fix until new head arrives I tried swapping the CH and...

Hi, Wondered if anyone could help with the following. I suspect I've got a broken CH motorised valve head, resulting in pump running 24/7. With CH and HW off at timer, I'm still getting live to SL in boiler (neon1 on). If I unplug electrics to the CH motorised head the pump goes off...

Thanks for the knowledge guys :) My boiler is a Glow worm ultimate 70FF. From manual: How would you measure the temp difference between flow and return? Clamp on thermometers to the copper pipes sufficient?

It won't. My question was worded badly. When my valves are open, what stops my newly heated water going straight back to the boiler down this bypass pipe? Doesn't water behave like electricity and take path of least resistance? Also, how open should the tap be please? fully, half, just...

CH is working fine, but for interest wondered if someone could help explain the following please. The pipe out my water pump (POST boiler output) splits three ways: 1) CH motorised valve 2) HW motorised valve 3) Pipe straight back to boiler input, with tap. What is the need for the pipe...
