Excellent! Thanks everyone!

So both brown wires going into L1?

Hi all I currently have one light in my loft operated by one pull switch and I wanted to add an extra light operated off of the same pull switch. I've managed to wire it up so that both lights work, however when I pull the switch it turns one light on and the other one off. Another pull does...

Thanks again, just bought the switch in the first link. :D

That's great, exactly what I was looking for. Could I just use the electronic one to replace the current fused switch?

Great stuff. Thanks for your help!

Hi all We moved into a house with underfloor heating in our family bathroom and the temperature is controlled by an electric thermostat like this: This thermostat is powered by a fused switch near the skirting board, like this: It’s great to have underfloor heating but...

I've invited the neighbour round for a cuppa on Sunday so we can chat about it. Unfortunately the guy is a solicitor so his first response upon hearing about the extension was about appointing party wall surveyors etc... So we're resigned to having to pay for that ourselves. It would just be...

Hi all I hope you can help / advise etc… Currently our neighbours kitchen cooker vent exits on to our property. As the picture (hopefully) shows, it exits from his house into our garden. Now, his property is longer than ours as it was extended (and I assume the vent installed)...

Hi My cable for the TV aerial currently comes out of my roof and snakes down the external wall until the very bottom of the house where it then comes through a hole into my lounge. We’re considering having a small extension done on the back of the house and as such this exterior wall will...

Hi all I currently have a third tap on my kitchen sink which dispenses filtered water, this comes from a closed reservoir bottle under the sink. I want to remove this but it means that I would have to disconnect the water filter’s reservoir bottle which is fed directly from the water pipe...

It's for a pendant so the first one looks like what I need. Thanks for your help. :D

Hi all I’m currently in the process of rewiring some old wall lights and have had to replace the brass bulb holders, which is fine, but there is something else that I need and for the life of me I can’t work out what they are called (so therefore can’t find them online!). Can any lighting...

No worries. Thanks for letting me know, I will re-do the blue cable and get it up and running. Thanks again. :mrgreen:

Hi all I'm installing a new doorbell transformer and the instructions say to connect the brown wire to the "L" terminal and the blue wire to the "N" terminal. Obviously this is pretty normal BUT the actual transformer does not have an "L" or an "N" terminal marked, not very helpful! See...

Thanks for the advice all. I will make sure the JB is in a place where it can be expected, and that the wiring meets all of those standards. It is in my home so I want to make sure it's done correctly.

The only lighting feeds that I can see run between the light fitting and a switch, so I probably can't tap into that as it would only work when the light is on (like that other house you've been in)?? There is a permenant feed to a smoke alarm though, maybe I should tap into that?

Thanks for the reply. What's the best way to identify a lighting circuit permenant feed?

Hi all I want to install a mains powered doorbell in my home and I plan to run a junction box off of a current mains wire to do this. I have access to the wires above where I want to put the doorchime (I have some floorboards up on my first floor) but there are plenty of wires leading to...
