    Need advice on bedroom airconditioning

    thanks for your efforts. the system is indeed an option but i think i want something with less visual intrusion. even if its not a fully ducted system, something that allows me to place the bulk of Unit1 in the cupboard with just the vent on the bedroom side. the wall is only a few cm thick...

    electrics - how do i check if current is flowing in a cable?

    in true screwfix style there was no box/instructions. however looking at the thing carefully i cant see where a battery would go. the thing is doesn't come apart anywhere for a batter to go. and i've waved it around the kettle lead a few times. i can confirm that it is the same product that...

    electrics - how do i check if current is flowing in a cable?

    thanks. i'll go and find a battery now! i understand where the probes go on the battery so i form a circuit. but where do the probes go? is it live and earth? plus why is the proximity method safer? thanks

    electrics - how do i check if current is flowing in a cable?

    thanks for the info. however, how exactly do i use the multimeter? ie one probe touches the live mains wire, where do i put the *other* probe? also the MAINS TESTER from screew fix. how does it work? how is it safer etc? i may buy one if it will give me better/more reliable results...
