Thanks for the link - appreciated. I tried this previously and have ordered two sets of lamps, only to send them back as they were advertised as 53mm, but were actually 55mm!

Thanks Eric. I've tried the 55mm units, but it seems that my lamp-holders were designed for 53mm bulbs, which is the length of the GU10 halogens I've bought to date.

I'm seeking to replace my current halogen lights with LED units. There seems to be plenty of choice for decent light output and colour temperature, BUT all the units I've tried are a bit longer than my existing GU10 halogen bulbs and so don't fit the lamp-holder. Can anyone point me to some...

Sorry - not quite with you there. If I isolate power to the bathroom generally, or the bathroom extractor fan specifically - no effect. By isolating the sockets for the three downstairs rooms the noise disappears so I conclude that the power supply for "whatever" comes off that circuit, and that...

Downstairs sockets for three rooms.

Thanks for replying Conny. Does it happen when you switch something on? Not so far as I can tell. Do you have a shower pump fitted anywhere? Yes, but in the airing cupboard several feet away and activated by water flow. Do you have any appliances such as a heating pump in close...

For several weeks I've been plagued by an intermittent noise in and around my bathroom. It's been difficult to pinpoint but at different times it has sounded like an electrical hum, or a fan or motor running at low speed. I've investigated the obvious candidates like my extractor fan by...

I'm planning to run a cold water feed to a corner of the garden with the eventual purpose of feeding an outdoor shower. The blue MDPE PE80 water pipe will come up through a hole drilled in a slab as these are laid to form a new paved area. I want to terminate the pipe with some sort of fitting...

A slightly unusual query this. I started out replacing the existing plain white sockets and switches in a kitchen with some smart looking "screwless" kit. BUT where sockets sit next to spur switches (dishwasher etc) and the telecom socket, the new units with covers take up very slightly more...

I have a Neff cooker hood that is correctly sized for the gas hob it sits above. It is a replacement for an older no-name unit that was getting a bit "tired". The hood seems powerful and there is a good flow of air coming out from the external vent but here's the puzzling thing. Even at full...

I have a Vaillant 831792 GB boiler that has given excellent service for 18 years but I feel that it's probably due for replacement for something more efficient. I would appreciate comments on models to shortlist when comparing quotes. Are models available (newer Vaillants?) that would use...

I have a Danfoss FP715 Si central heating programmer. It's situated in a slightly awkward position which makes it a bit of a chore when we want to trip the heating or hot water for an hour or so. Even more so if the unit needs re-programming. I thought it would be fairly to source a...

Brilliant!!!

Brass toggle - just to make life easy. :roll:

Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Presumably the intermediate not used as an intermediate will need to be wired to function as a normal two-way. How's this done?

As part of a redecoration project I'm looking to replace several light switches with something "posher". :) I've worked out what I need in all cases except one. The switch looks like it's been put together from modules, but I'm hopeful that I can source a replacement from a standard range...

Recently, switching on our garden lights causes them to flicker momentarily then the RCCB trips. The cabling is fun in conduit to two low level lights mounted on a low wall so I'm thinking that some moisture might have entered after the recent heavy rains. Is there any way to test this, other...
