besides vv208, the earlier comment you quoted me on before,trying to say its not true, is the verbatum forming part of the corse content for the 2391. the 2391 is what we call an 'exam' its a difficult concept but it involves actually learning stuff and not just making it up to sound clever.

*From the 1st January 2005, all electrical work in dwellings will need to comply with Building Regulations Part P requirements and be carried out by persons who are competent to design and undertake the work. Persons considering undertaking electrical work using unqualified installers or on a...

Thanks lucia, I especially like the HSE 'cotton wool' part. I was beginning to wonder if I WAS a reckless dangerous rogue trader for a second there.

As above but might add something. I guess you are aware that you should use a special dimmer for low voltage lights. Also check your ultimate load on the dimmer. The lasy pull chord dimmer range I used had a measly 200w rating, which would technically let you dimm 4x 50w gu10(alu) lamps (50w...

14 kw? really? To work out your watts into amps just divide the wattage by your voltage. probably about 14000 / 240. Your pulling alot of juice. Did your cannabis plants suffer when the fuse went?

so 20 years in the industry and you wear gloves to work on equipment and you NEVER work live? I've only got 12 years in the electrical installation and maintenance industry and I'm NIC EIC approved QM for my company and obviously this involves alot of test and inspection and...
