I am replacing a halogen floodlight (with inbuilt PIR) with an LED unit (primarily to avoid having to change bulbs which is a pain). The supply has Brown - Live Grey (with blue sleeve) - Neutral Black - Switched live? Yellow/Green - Earth The lamp has Live, Neutral and Earth. The...

Tried and now working fine. Thx for your help

Thankyou for your help - will try this

Just checked the wires...you are right that they are situated in pairs. Unfortunately, the 2 cables are not marked...so I just have 2 brown, 2 blue and 2 earth. How can I tell which of the blues is the live and which is the neutral? Will it do any harm to just try a combination? I assume...

CPC?

No!!! The wall light is connected to a single cable and the double cable is just taped off in insulation tape. not connected together...do I need to connect the double cable? Ie. brown > brown, blue > Blue, earth > earth? or is there another way of connecting them?

Thanks for your help and patience! There is a grey from a 3 core - but this is terminated in a chock block with the neutrals - it has a blue sheath. So, are you suggesting that I need to try moving the brown cables from L2 to L3? I thought these were the same? Sorry - don't have a...

Photo showing back of switch - The 'top' switch is working the ceiling lights fine. Black cable has brown sheath out of shot.

Okay, my explanation was not that clear - sorry. The cables coming into the switch box are as follows (ignoring earths for simplicity) Cable 1 - Black with brwn sheath, grey with blue sheath, brown Cable 2 - Brown, Blue Cable 3 - Brown, Blue There is also a short brown wire connecting...

This is a new (2yrs old) installation.....we had the house rewired professionally, but have only just got round to fitting wall lights in this room...hence we have never seen if they are working. There are cables for 4 wall lights - 2 of them have a single cable with L/N/E and 2 have 2 cables...

Hi all - hope someone can help! Have finally got round to fitting wall lights...have connected the first and tested...not working :( The wall light is new and has just L/N/E connections into a connection strip...not fixed to wall yet so know that nothing is loose. Haven't fitted any of...

Really? Is this non-woven? I have only seen traditional 1700 lining paper in the stores...not a non-woven. Can you point me to a store that sells this online?

I'm going to be using lining paper in a very old house and then emulsion on top of that. I prefer non-woven based on past experience and my own abilities as a paper-hanger :wink: What is the thickest non-woven I can get? I've found something which claims to be comparable to 1400 grade...

Agreed, but just wanted to highlight that for most traditional construction buildings (solid walls, lime pointing, possibly no DPC)....these types of coatings or even masonry paint are a seriously bad idea. We had a damp problem in one of our barns...the previous owner had coated the clay...

Speaking as the owner of a very large flint wall (Listed GII), we had to rebuild a section which was demolished by a tree. There are two main methods of constructing a flint wall: 1. The entire wall is constructed using flint rubble (this relies upon timber shuttering being constructed...

Do you still need help on this?

Depends on what you are trying to remove. I would recommend having a look at http://www.stripperspaintremovers.com/ I am not connected to the company in any way, but have used their NB510 and Klingstrip products with success

Aside from the suggestion that there are other similar products available on the marketplace, noone seems to be commenting on the fact that the OP wanted to apply this to a barn. Assuming this was of traditional construction, then applying a non-breathable coating like this (or even masonry...

The problem is that the tray is an unusual shape and part of a 'walk-in' shower enclosure...so it's not possible to change for a resin tray (although I have now decided that the remaining bathrooms will be fitted with resin or stone trays.) I thinking of leaving the jack under the tray...

We have a problematic plastic shower tray which keeps leaking. Basically, the problem is that there is insufficient support and some of the users are heavy (18st), causing the tray to flex at the joint with the wall and eventually result in leaking. Any suggestions most welcome - we've tried...
