Ah I see. This is probably more faff than it’s worth, as you say installing sockets under the counter and plugging something in isn’t going to look great.

Thanks for your reply. A quick search finds me this product, is this suitable to be cut and wired directly? I’m guessing at this price it probably doesn’t have a driver? Govee LED Strip Lights 10m, LED Lights for Bedroom, Smart RGB LED WiFi App Control, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, a...

Thank you. So if the led strip light has a Uk plug on the end I can simply cut this 8 and cut the plug and connect both together? Do I not need a driver?

Hello. I’ve recently upgraded my kitchen island lights to ‘smart’ bulbs, dim/change colour etc these were just screw in bulb nice and easy. I’d like to upgrade my lights that light up my worktop, they are fixed under the wall cabinets above, 1 on either side of the hob. These are currently...

About 12.5-13deg :(

Update. It's been good since March but today it started leaking again after the heavy rain overnight :( I've already paid the builder the outstanding amount. I've had a local roofer out this morning, someone who fitting my facia and guttering prior to the extension a number of years ago so I...

Excellent! Now I need to buy the gear and get on with the job. I can’t start a job unless I know 100% how to do it and you’ve sorted that for me. thank you very much again. I’ll get oictures up whenever it’s done.

Based on that it is definitely going before the new light :D thanks again. Last question. Is 0.75mm2 cable sufficient for this?

Thank you again. I haven’t quite decided where to position the PIR but it would be somewhere on the fence either just before the first new light or possibly between the last 2 lights as this would be close to the gate that leads to the garden and the likely point of access for an intruder...

Thanks again. I’d like the 2 existing lights to stay as they are and only be controlled by the switch. I’d like the new fence lights to be controlled by a switch (I’ve figured that thank you) but I would also like the new fence lights to come on via a PIR for security, the existing 2 are left...

Thanks brilliant, thanks for confirming. And yes I’ve just laid some 2.5mm SWA in a trench under a proposed patio for a possible future office pod and it wasn’t the most flexible to work with, thankfully it was just laid in a trench and that’s me done with it for now. would I need 1.5mm for the...

You’re a star. So at the existing light fitting the grey wire is now my live so I run the new 3 core cable from the new light to the existing, join the 2 lives together and the earth and neutral go into the existing light or do I use 4 core cable? Sorry I’m a bit confused with the connection to...

I’m confident with wiring the new lights along the fence but I’m not too sure how to control them via a 2 gang switch inside. Does anyone have a diagram as to what I would need to do with that extra grey wire at both the switch and the existing light? I was simply going to spur off the existing...

Thank you for your reply. Good news on the ability to add a double switch to control the additional fence lights, this interests me a lot as I was thinking it will be all or nothing. We usually have the current 2 lights on whilst in the kitchen to light up the patio so it would be great to be...

I’ve had a look at the existing outside light I’d like to spur from and it has Live Neutral and Earth. It also has a grey unused wire which I’m guessing can be ignored. Is there anyway I can incorporate a PIR into these existing 2 outside lights and the additional 3/4 on the fence? If I...

Hello. I’ve recently had an extension completed and to the rear of the property I have 2 lights on the wall either side of a bifold door controlled by a switch inside. My electrician is returning to sort something else out so I was curious if it was simple to extend the spur from one of these...

thanks both. I downloaded the velux pitch app and that gives 17.7 deg so taking away it’s a phone the roof is still on the border line. There was some rain last night and the roof looks ok for now, I’m still not convinced. Even though the felt is the second line of defence I noticed it’s still...

What bit have I got wrong? builder has come round. He lifted about a dozen tiles and it was dry under there. I could see the stain on the felt where it has leaked. He was a bit puzzled but replaced a couple of tiles a tightening them all up. It hasn’t poured down since yesterday so I’ve no way...

I think I got the pitch wrong. Seems it's OK at 22.6 deg. I spoke to roof tile supplier and they confirmed those tiles are 17.5 dwg minimum. Can anyone confirm it's 22.6? thank you (still doesn't fix my leak)

just checked, it’s fine just a line of dirt.
