thanks for the idea F rgds T

F thanks for that. We do have a couple of friends of the club who are sparks so budget would only have to cover hardware. I can't honestly see us being able to run to more than £100 - £200 at the outside for something like this. rgds T

Sorry, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been. I'm after ideas about a creative or innovative way of lighting the structure not the mechanics of the installation of it. I thought that you guys in the trade may have come across something similar and found a solution that went beyond say...

F It's a cricket club - so private members club T

F the pergola is about 8m x 10m and made from 100mm posts topped with 7"x3" joists in a grid arrangement. It is attached to the main buliding. The CU is about 8 - 10m away as the rat runs. thanks T

Does anyone have any whizzy ideas for lighting a pergola. The one I have is large and I want to provide enough light to allow people to see that their pint is empty but not too light as to highlight every spot and pimple. If it could light the structure as a feature it would be a bonus as well...

. . . just found another topic where this very question was asked answered, debated and answered again. It's put me off!

thanks for the tips boys. In the event, as advised I changed the transformer and where once was dark there is now light. Incidently on the subject of Joe Public and their treatment by the trade, I got the replacement transformer (and a host of other stuff) from QVS which while not necessarily...

This is beginning to bug me now. The delay seems to be getting longer! I timed it the other day and gave up after a minute and a half. switched off the lights then switched them back on again and they worked! Another time I left it for 30 seconds, turned off the switch, turned it on again...

Thanks for that chaps. I guess my memory's faulty as I thought that when I initially wired them up they started first time and that it was just recently they had started doing it. But I can't be sure. My mind is now at rest, cheers. :P

Can anyone explain to me why the LV Halogen "soffit" lamps (from B&Q) I recently installed should have a delay when turning them on. Typically it is a good few seconds before they light up, but once there they then turn off and on ok until left for a while when again a delay is experienced. :x

Thanks for that . . . You describe the set up I had in mind for the feed from the main building to the outbuilding (single cable 40A MCB) which will itself have lighting and sockets . . .but I was mainly asking about the protection for the cables that will run from the outbuilding to the...

I'm installing a consumer unit in an outbuilding which amongst other things will, for a short period in the Summer, supply power to a marquee. I have been advised to have two separate armoured cables routed to the site of the marquee which will supply lighting and power to various appliances...
