I need to add a couple of BT sockets to a basement in a house I am working at. I dont have access to the existing BT points in the house, but I do have access to the cable that supplys them. Can I cut the cable and make a joint to feed the two new sockets? Is there a limit to the number of BT...

Hi. I am not familiar with these programmers/timeclocks, could someone please explain how they are wired, cheers.

So was ripping out some old factory installation the other day. I noticed how difficult it was to tell between Red and black cables, and even the red, yellow and blue cables on three phase machines. Then it got me thinking, if I struggle on this, how hard will it be to differ between brown...

Any ideas welcome please, preferably online. Would like to avoid the likes of the costly WF, CEF etc... Thanks in advance, TGS.

I have a row of 5 downlighters, each with a dedicated transformer and a 1-way switch. I am going to add a second switch to make it to way across my bedroom, but is it possible to have dimmer switches? Do the spots need to be 240V ? Thanks as always.

I want to wire a disco light above my decks in my house. Either red or blue, or mulitcolour, flashing twirling all that jazz. You know? Have any of you installed any that you can reccomend, or no a good shop for it? Cheers, TGS.

I am an apprentice spark. What books can people reccomend to get me through college, and help me on site. Besides the OSG of course, which I found in my other thread. Cheers.

What is the latest version of this, and where is it available? Cheers in advance, TGS.

I would really appreciate if someone could tell me, in detail, how to wire a lighting circuit. Let's say, two lights that work simultaneously, with two way switching, so they can be switched at two points. I hope someone can be kind enough to go through how it is wired, what cable, into...
