    Interior spot lights?

    I had a similar problem when I moved into my new house. We got 12 (GU10) downlighters and they kept turning off after a few minutes. Our problem was that the dimmer switch was only rated at 600w (I think) and I had to replace it with a 1000w. This fixed my problem.

    Wiring a PIR in bathroom help...

    Coming out of the celing I have two cores of three cables. Both have G/Y - B - R and one of the Blacks does have a Red sleeving on it. So, the three wires which include the Black WITHOUT the Red sleeve needs to be changed, is that correct?
