    Bedside socket and switch

    I usually put the socket at a height of 25-30 cm from the floor, and the switch at the level of 90 cm so that it is convenient to reach with a hand from the bed.

    Issues re import export meter

    I would advise not to make a meter transfer if the new smart meter fits in the same place. The main thing is to connect the wires correctly, then everything will work as it should.

    Double Socket Not Working

    I would suggest to call the tester wire to understand where exactly power is lost, and then decide whether to remove the carpet or look for another problem.

    Meter tails no rcd in stud wall

    I have encountered a situation where meter tails are placed in the wall more than 3 meters without an RCD.

    Any Good Game Suggestions?

    I recently played God of War (2018) on the PlayStation and can recommend it if you haven’t tried it yet. I liked the plot and the fight, the game lasts for a few days. Also I did The Last of Us Remastered - good story and interesting atmosphere. If you want something easier, I sometimes run...

    Why fluorescent lamp won't stay on?

    I had the same table lamp, and I went through this problem. At first, I replaced the tube itself: it was brighter, but it is dim again after a couple of turns. Then I took the body apart and checked the ballast - the plastic was warm and there was a slight squeak. I put a new electronic ballast...
