Mag lock entry systems are usually connected to the fire alarm via a relay so the door releases allowing easy escape. It seems unlikely an intruder would use that as an opportunity to get in as everyone would be going the other way, they'd have to be in the right place at the right time...

Although twin & earth is not ideal externally, if it is under the soffit and out of the sunlight its unlikely to cause an issue in practice. You can get glands designed for flat twin and earth cable. Use some flexible cable between the JB & the fixture such as hituff...

I went with the round jb behind the light fitting, thanks for the help!

No, you can't. The cable is not large enough to supply the shower, you will need to get the electrician to install a new circuit, and advisably do a PIR looking at that 'round gadget' wiring (its a jb btw).

Would have been allot of effort to go too...

Thanks everyone, very helpful as ever :)

Depends, its for spot light sequencing for a show. So like 3 lights sequencing 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 depending on the music really. It's not a permanent thing, just for the one time. Thanks

It just says Crydon Solid State Relay, Output - 480V 25A Input 2-32V DC Thanks

Oh dear :( Do you know an alternative component that will do the same thing but switch a voltage of around 10V? I don't really want to use a normal relay if I can help it because there going to be turned on and off quite quickly... Thanks :)

Evening All I have 3 solid state relays that I used a couple of years ago for a lighting project to switch 240V lights on using 24V control. They have been in the shed since then, but I have just set them up with some some 12V lights, using the same 24V transformer & two of them don't...

Haha, your not planning on plugging 230V equipment in are 'ya? :P PS - Remove the bracket from the end of the link to make it work.

What is the current (A amps) of the oven and the hob?

Lean something new everyday :) Cheers

Is that a 40A max meter as well?? :shock:

Free electricity??! + VIR...

You could put two bells in parallel with each other. You would need to use a transformer because both bells need the same power supply, you'd also need a transformer bigger than the normal ones to supply both coils, probably around 2A but you need to check by adding up the amps of each bell. (I...

The light fitting isn't going to use 10A all to it's self though... unless it had a 2300W bulb ;)

When we had a new heating system installed a few months ago, they used 3 core flex to connect the cylinder stat to the control box next to it, using g/y as a live sleeved in brown, so is that strictly speaking wrong then?

Is this the cable your using at the start then? http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90121413 And the cable you have added is between the switch and light? You have also cut the 3 pin plug off and connected that to the FCU? If so, that's all fine, and it's ok to extend the flex...
