I've got a prewired low voltage transformer and one of these http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Lighting/Interior+Lighting/Spare+LV+Lampholder+MR16/d220/sd3066/p99286 I thought i could pull the lamp connector cables out of the lamp connector and push the wires from the transformer into it but...

If the seals are broke then i'd flick the timer to the On position - from what i remember dont they have 3 positions - On/Off/Timed On? If they heat up when in the on position then looks like a faulty timer - your electricity provider will swap it FOC and install a digi one instead. Also are...

This is quite common on LED & energy saving lamps when connected by 2 way switches. Apparently its something to do with the capacitance in the strapper wires (which connects the 2 switches) discharging through the landing light or in your case the LEDs, which can be enough to make a low energy...

Its gonne be hard with the recession, i was watching channel 4 news earlier and it was at a training college for brickies 16-18yr olds and they couldnt find any companies who could take them on to gain experience for their apprenticeships due to the recession. Also its gonna be hard with your...

yeh i doubt they'll be bothered, just say it was like that when you moved in if they ask :lol: A guy i know who was meter engineer was telling me when he worked on the rough estates, loads of the flats had dodgy meters from the tenents tampering with them getting free electric. He didnt say...

Didnt realise that CTI wernt as safe as Hager - i thought a breaker was a breaker :oops: I thought it was like computer memory where you dont have to use the expensive brands as they all do the same job! Hager it is then :wink:

purely for cost - £26 in toolstation for CTI otherwise i'm looking at £40 for a hager from my electrical shop

Does anyone know if CTI breakers will fit Hager fuseboards? http://www.toolstation.com/images/library/stock/webbig/42781.jpg Thanks

well at least it makes a bit more sense now! prefer the modern way of looping in a out with all cables tho at the light tho!

i take it that at the switch then there will be a loop in and out at the common connection and the switch wire connected to L1 - is this how they used to do it?

ok so if the red is switch live, the neutrals are neutral loops in and out so where is the phase loop in and out?

I'm fine with wiring lighting circuits using T&E but the old single wiring confuses me. Recently i saw a light wired in the old singles cables with one red cable & 2 blacks, with the red connected to the live connection and the 2 blacks in the neutral. Now if the red it live, and one of the...

I currently have 2 single sockets in my room, and want to fit a new double socket to the opposite side of the room, whats the easiest way? either: 1. Remove one of the single sockets completely and extend the cable using a terminal block to the new double socket -if so want amp terminal block...
