    Dado Trunking ID

    Is anyone able to tell me what brand this trunking is? Customer has some missing corners but I can't for the love of me ID the brand.

    Cable type ID?

    Customer sent me a photo of their bathroom electrics. Anyone able to ID the thick black cable? Looks like some sort of sleeving?

    Complex intermediate switch question

    I just wired the circuit exactly as you described and it works perfectly. Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate your help. I have no idea why my brain got so confused trying to work out the logic of the circuit but I’ve learnt a lesson and hopefully won’t have this problem in the future.

    Complex intermediate switch question

    Thank you for this. I'm familiar with two way switching but as mentioned above, having to use intermediates has completely thrown me, nevermind the unusual labelling. I will do exactly as you have described and report back. Just to be absolutely clear... what terminal are you taking the live...

    Complex intermediate switch question

    Ever seen an intermediate marked like this before? I think this is what's confusing me.

    Complex intermediate switch question

    The reason is that they are very expensive switches that were purchased by clients. Given that intermediate switches have the exact same functionality as two-way switches, only with a spare terminal I don’t personally see the problem?

    Complex intermediate switch question

    I want three switches to control a light. All three switches are intermediate and so have four avaliable terminals. Switch 1, switch 2 and switch 3. Switch 1 has the incoming live. Switch 2 has the load (and is the true intermediate) Switch 3 is a standard switch. Can anyone advise on whether...

    Connecting 1930s steel conduit to new CU

    Has anyone got experience terminating steel conduit from 1935 (so likely imperial measurements) into a new metal enclosure? This was the work of the previous electrician to touch the board and I'd like to get a far better fixing this time around. No chance of a re-wire and the IR readings are...

    Wireless socket tester

    I often conduct EICRs alone. I'm curious if there is a socket tester on the market that can transmit to a handheld unit. The idea was that I could flick switches at the board without running up 4 flights of stairs to check whether it was the right one. Or failing that, a socket tester that makes...
