Firstly make sure your hands are dry after your plumming efforts, turn off the mcb that supplys this lighting circuit. its really straight forwad these ceiling roses are made up of 3 connecter blocks basically. the reds in the middle are your permant lives and need to go on their own in a...

He could fit fire rated down lights though, the ones I fit made by jcc comply with 30 mins, 60mins and 90 mins, and they have an acoustic seal something else to bear in mind. Two nice fittings would be better though

If not, turn off the mcb that supplies the shed and get a sparks in to check your swa to the shed and your internal wiring(shed)

Have you checked that your getting 240v at the top of your main switch (the supply from the house)?

That's a good idea to get you started, get yourself a hi viz and hard hat and go to town on it. Wish you were down south I could do with some free labour

High reading on the sockets could be loose connection dodgy junction box could be big can of worms

Doesn't sound too bad no re-wire recommended? I would suggest a new fuse board and the jobs listed you would be looking at £600-£800 at guess. Main earth under sized- but then means of earthing not determined?? Or was that a piticular circuit?

You could get an electrician to replace your 40a fuse with a 6a and then run a 1mm t&e from the load side of your pull cord to the fan. Not ideal and I wouldnt do it but then this is a diy forum and that would be a typical diy solution.

Your best bet is to get an electrician in to wire one in properly for you off the lighting circuit. This way you can have a fan with an over run on it. You would struggle to fit a 6mm/10mm cable in the fan connections any way. Get it done properly is the answer

It certainly wouldn't hurt to tidy it up, looks a bloody mess

That's that

Outside zone 2 will be fine so long as you have rcd protection, you can use a switched fcu outside zone 2.

Get your new transformers and a new electrician to fit them, this bloke sound a waste of time and your money.

Didnt read your last post properly, I'd be interested to know what he did to fix the transformer? Or was it the pull cord that failed and not the transformer all along. If this continues ditch him.

I can not say if your electrician is any good or not, but transformers are fussy sometimes, I know from experience that b&q lights are mostly cheap rubbish made in china. I wouldn't say £20 for a 150W transformer was expensive at all, actually cheap. That said I fitted some low voltage down...

Do you mean 20watts and 150watts not volts? Are you getting these transformers from somewhere like b&q? £20 quid to run 6 20watt 12v down lights? Sounds like a cheap and nasty transformer to me. Check also that the lamps (bulbs) supplied are not 50watt 12v as I've come across this before in...

There you go echoes post shows what I'm on about with the grids

You will find most dimmers are 2way as standard, I've never seen a 2gang with a normal switch and a dimmer, your best bet would be to go to an electrical wholesaler and get your self a 2gang grid and yoke then a grid form dimmer and grid form switch. Unless someone else knows of a switch, the...
