Is the 12V fitting nearer the bath or in a lower section of ceiling than the other 230V lights?

I was once called to repair a pyro which had need chopped through during an ivy trimming session.

What is it now supplying?

All new wiring in the bathroom MUST be RCD protected. Replacing the CU is a great idea.

PVC boxes are fine. It would be a mad thing to sell if you weren't allowed to use them!

Now you've found out why you should only have one detector per zone. What panel do you have? Do you know if your circuit uses end of line resistors?

You need to employ a competent fire alarm engineer. This is a life protection system, not something to have a go at and leave not working properly.

You sure about that? Mine uses more than 1 watt.

The alternative is to employ an electrician who will fit IP rated fittings to this sort of wiring day in day out without any problem.

Does the pipe in my scenario constitute an E-C-P?

I've seen the daft situation of a blue plastic supply pipe and the entire house plumbed in plastic pipe with main bonding attached to the stop cock. Here's a scenario to debate. Gas supply in PE pipe right up to an external meter cabinet then copper pipe into the house straight through the...

Was there any attempt at all to rod an earth?

The cables feeding the fcu look smaller to me than those feeding the socket.

I have no hard evidence to back up my claim but the majority of electricians I work with and installations I work on use the grey as neutral.

As a good rule of thumb, switches will handle one fifth of their restive rating for inductive loads.

The industry standard is to use grey as neutral, and whilst it's not mandatory it would be much easier for everyone if it were.

A good electrician should be able to do the wiring for you. Cat6 is good for phones, computer network, CCTV, HDTV, and all sorts of other things, but the alarm should be wired in proper alarm cable. The speakers will probably work on cat6 but would be best using proper speaker cable.

Using your six gang is fine and means less wiring for you and therefore less to go wrong. Personally I'd go with your original plan.

If you've got a wylex cu then you MUST use wylex devices in it. Mix and match within a cu is not acceptable.

Wrong again whinny boy. When are you going to stop making a fool of your self on here?
