    Connecting 3-wire PIR to 2-wire system

    Padstone mistake

    Woody - thanks for the reply, and yes, I agree the builder's mistake is pretty ridiculous. As for the SE, he's genuine, just erring on the safe side I think. Wavetrain - the steel beam is 200x200mm. It sits on a concrete padstone. The SE specified a padstone 850 wide (horizontal) x 300 high...

My electrician ran a standard cable (E, L, N) connected to the bathroom light switch, ready for the extractor fan. But the fan requires two neutral cables in order to continue working when...

    sticking a large mirror to my bathroom wall

    Does it make any difference what the mirror backing is? I have the same query, but the mirror has a kind of foil backing. Is that likely to make any difference?

    touch-sensitive switch malfunction

    I have a 2-gang touch-sensitive light switch installed in the bathroom. It has been working well for a few months, but today I switched the lights on causing one of the halogen bulbs to blow, and tripping the lighting circuit. I replaced the bulb and reset the circuit, but now the switch is...
