Yes, they can fail. That isn't the problem here.

The only time that will be happening is when the appliance is broken - which will mean pulling it out to replace it regardless of the presence of any switches. Might happen perhaps once in 5 years maybe.

Those are only of use for detecting large items such as vehicles constructing the gate. The absolute bare minimum. Sliding gates need sensors that cover the full height of the gate and posts at both ends, so that they don't crush objects/animals/people that are in the way, including where...

Edison promoted DC as that is what he supposedly 'invented' and was therefore financially invested in having it used. At the time, DC was very far from efficient, as it was next to impossible to convert to different voltages, with the result that voltage dropped significantly as you moved away...

The terminals themselves Where those terminals connect to the circuit board inside The switch(es) that select between speakers A and B. The protection relay which switches the speakers on after a short delay.

It needs way more than 1mm. Gap between gate and track should be the same across the whole width of the gate in all positions between fully open and fully closed. Either that gate is distorted or the track is not level. The gate company information is correct - there is only one solution which...

They are noisy, use electricity and wear out so will need to be replaced at intervals. Possibly of value in situations where the incoming water supply is feeble and also can't be upgraded. By doing what? If the incoming cold supply is suitable, the usual method is to remove the vented cylinder...

New connectors can be obtained such as https://www.toolstation.com/spare-lampholder/p99286 or https://www.toolstation.com/spare-lampholder/p93364

Lights with no connector are non-compliant junk, probably direct imports from far away. In any event, that existing connector is not intended to be reused for the light fitting side.

There is no truth in that article. 100% fake news on a 100% fake site.

All cables, sockets, plugs, connections get warm when in use.

The usual ask for advice, then ignore all of it and do what they were going to do anyway.

No you don't. The black flex is part of the light, so is that connector. It will be going away with the old light. The wires to remove are those on the other side. The new light will be supplied with a connector.

They are not a thing because homes are not wired with a single circuit for all of the socket outlets any more. Likewise the days of a fusebox with 3 fuses in it for the cooker, sockets and lighting are long gone. Or any other rating. All circuits are radials. The ring for BS1363 socket outlets...

Reduce the size of the images. No one wants to go to some external site loaded with adverts and malware just to look at an image, assuming that external site did actually work, which in this case it doesn't. Even those which do work are infamous for deleting images or blocking access to them...

A top up with water once will not make any difference. If that is dropping often, then either there is a leak or it's overheating and chugging boiling water out. For either of those the problem must be fixed. Normally, that tank would only need a tiny top up perhaps once a year.

and what new features or fixes does this include? Answer - no one knows as Hager do not tell anyone why or what these updates are for, or even if they are required or not. In which case nothing acheived. Highly suspect behaviour if it is doing that. Like those internet connected smoke alarms...

For standard plasterboard and adhesive, leave about 20mm out of the wall, so the recess would be about 25mm for a 47mm box. Has the electrician already been found and agreed to this?

Those things are not intended to have the battery replaced. The CO sensor has a limited life, which is why that one and others like it have an expiry date on the back.

If it's one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco_Hudl_2 then no. Latest is Android 5.1 which is already 10+ years old, the device is 12+ years old, all support for it ended years ago, no upgrades are possible. Wordle requires Android 7 or above.
