    Metal torch case glued & punched? Dekton branded.

    I have one of these el-cheapo DIY outlet torches, and would like to get to the re-chargeable battery for investigation and replacement. It currently works for less than 30 mins between charges. It's quite a nice pocket size, so would like to get some use rather than binning it. This one is...

    Lightwave dimmer switch makes light flicker

    Installed a Lightwave 1 gang switch and now the LED light is flickering when off. It is like the switch is not turning off the light correctly, and that the light is running in a dimmed state. Then light is dimmable! I have checked the wiring on the switch and this is correct (I believe). Any...

On the other side of the kitchen we wanted to replace the similar 2 G4 bulb light fittings (see pic 5) with LED strips...

    Context: - This fixture is daisy chained and this stopped working (with new tubes / starters) a few months back.

    LED Ceiling Light Driver

    Hi. I have a couple of LED ceiling lights which have two settings (daylight white and warm white) which alternate by switching them on/off quickly. My electrician fitted a new light switch while it was live and I'm pretty certain it has blown the LED light driver (pictures attached). I need to...

    Hello, I've installed a Monsoon Extractor Fan kit today, all is up and running and everything is working with the exception of the LED.

    Can you recommend a non-smart temperature-variable light bulb?

    LEDs are so much better now than they used to be but I can't seem to find a bulb that can be varied between evening and daytime light. 2700K/4000K would be suitable, more variability would be a bonus. Ideally the bulb would also be dimmable or it could even combine dimming and colour change...

    Recessed downlights and fire/electrical safety

    Hi all. We've been viewing houses recently and I've noticed that nearly all have recessed downlighters somewhere or other - in some cases just one room but in others they're throughout most of the house. Some are in downstairs ceilings with a room above, others in upstairs ceilings with loft...

    Hi I have a 6 month old Bosch fridge freezer As if a couple of days ago the led right and led display on the interior are either not coming on, or coming on intermittently when the door opens.

    2-way & Off Grid Switch - with Neon Indicator?

    In a hallway where the lighting will usually be controlled by an IR occupancy sensor, I would like a 3-position switch. The switch will allow the lights to be controlled by the sensor, permanently on, or permanently off. As far as I can see the only solution is a "2-way & off" grid switch. Is...

    LED strip inside tiled pockets/recess

    I don't understand the correct way to go about installing an LED strip into a pocket or recess. Tiler, a pro, very clean work has no simple solution either. What would really help is an 8mm tile trim with a wide "span" (not sure of correct term). 2cm is not enough to play with (that's NOT what...

    LED downlighter puzzle

    Hi all, Over the past few years I have had regular issues with my 12 kitchen downlighters due to replacing the standard 12v lamps with 12v LED's and leaving the old transformers in place. As I understand it, the issue is that the transformers require a minimum wattage to be drawn to work...
