I would also be interested to know how the dimmer works, we know it chops a wave form at the switch, but this in its self would not cause the light to dim and the switch mode power supply turns that chopped wave form into DC charges a capacitor with it to smooth it and then turns it back into...

@JohnW2 makes a good point, which has been talked over many times, it is up to the person working on an installation to ensure it is safe, not up to the person before him to wire in a way the next person is unlikely to make errors. With some exceptions. Borrowed neutral is the one that comes to...

Oh dear, to start with both line and neutral are live, in the main to isolated with a domestic installation you switch off the isolator or RCD, most MCB's in domestic are single module width and do not switch neutral, there are some RCBO's single module width which do switch the neutral but...

Traditionally we turn off heating at night, and have it lower in the day than in the evening, and we have used a combination of convected air and inferred from the lights, the big problem with inferred is it can pass through glass and is hard to control, however because it heats the body...

1. You can only use class II equipment with pre-1966 lighting installations without an earth, but this will not cause bulbs to fail. 2. LED bulbs can be affected with spikes on the supply, having a surge protection device (SPD) will likely reduce bulb failures. 3. Bulb price does not relate to...

I would agree I also have problems with G9 LED, but rest the main advantage is they never seem to fail, had one which replaced a fluorescent tube fail and some really cheap toys from pound world 0.58W G5.3 MR16, other than those no failures, that is over now 4 years, never used halogen, still...
