Have you thought about Solar Lights? Not the ones with the spike which you can dig but proper ones with the solar panel powered. Something like this. If you consider the cost of Wire, junction Box, Conduit, fittings, bulbs and electricity. This might turn our just as economical and easier...

Its been a while so not sure what you ended up doing but here is the compatibility list for Ring Doorbell Pro https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/209028546-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List and this link for Ring Video Doorbell...

Just got V10 installed yesterday but did not do the install my self. I couldn't be bothered to save £240 on install cost as the one who did for me is NSI approved and put the fused spur and neatly punched the holes etc. Be aware that DiGi WiFi is only useful for the first year unless you wish to...

All sorted. So I disconnected the RED from the Switch and the Bulk Head side. Used the CPC for the earth. The BulkHead end had the CPC cut short so used a spare Yellow Green to connect to CPC. Yellow (RED sleeved) is now SL. Yes

@aptsys You are spot on. It is indeed plain yellow not yellow/green. I am pretty sure I could'nt see the Earth wire though at the bulk head end. This should be uninsulated wire under the external sheath, isn't it? I guess it must have been cut short as the old bulk head didn't have earth...

Thanks for the links BAS. I will take a look once I finish work. I have used Red, converted it to Switched instead of using Yellow. Yellow spare is now used for Earth and the red sleeve removed. CPC? As said I am not an electrician, not sure what it is. Note: I did bother to check everything...

Thank you for you reply so far. I did mention about the terminals available in the old and new bulk head. If I were to use Yellow (with Red sleeve) for Switched Live, then the Red Live (un-swithced ) would be left not used at the bulk head end. Would you recommend using an electrical tape to...

@bernardgreen: Surely, Colours don't matter and electricity wouldn't care either, as long as it has the conductive material and circuit completed correctly. My point is: Electricity is not art but science. Why anyone would not follow the industry standards and start using arbitrary colours...

Hi, this is my first post and I admit, I have not read the rules yet, so please go easy on me. I am not a qualified electrician but come from a science background so I know the basics quite well. Recently, I replaced an old PIR Bulk Head with a new PIR Bulk Head. While replacing the light, I...
