    Extending table lamp flex

    I’ve run out of peat and I’m planning on running the extended cable all the way to the English border :D

    Extending table lamp flex

    Haha thanks @telectrix ! Good point about the size of the cut out in the switch.

    Extending table lamp flex

    The existing cord is 0.75mm with a switch midway through it. Was planning to remove the switch, leave the 0.75mm going into the lamp, replace the switch and have a metre of 1.5mm from the switch to the plug.

    Extending table lamp flex

    Thank you Marvo. I’m swapping out the switch for a WiFi switch and the existing cable length isn’t sufficient to reach the power socket.

    Extending table lamp flex

    I have a table lamp fitted with 2 core 0.75mm flex. I wish to extend the length of the cable but only have 2 core 1.5mm flex to hand. Can I use this, or must the flex be the same diameter both sides of the join. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question. Thank you for your advice.

    Swapping thermostats

    Thanks Buzz, I’d just found this and was having a look. The diagram shows clearly where the LS / LR terminals are - I attached the black and grey relay wires to that, and then blue and brown wires to the power supply terminals. I’m guessing the wires for the prgorammer will be in the power...

    You’ve been incredibly helpful Lee, much appreciated. Now I just need to identify the thermostat terminals in the Worcester 28cdi and I’m good to go!

    No Lee -at the moment there is no thermostat in the house, just the programmer In the kitchen.

    Swapping thermostats

    Good point Lee. So I’d be better attaching the relay directly to the boiler and using the Netatmo in wireless mode. Would I be right in thinking that by doing this I’d also be disconnecting the old Lifestyle programmer and so would not need to insulate the wires in the kitchen?

    Hi Buzz. We have a Worcester Combi boiler. There’s no hot water tank.

    Swapping thermostats

    Hi Lee, thanks for your reply. I did not intend to connect the boiler relay to the boiler - I’d intended to use the plug in relay and switch out the heating controller for the Netatmo Thermostat. Main reason being I didn’t want to be left with a hole in the kitchen tiles.

    Swapping thermostats

    Hi there! I’m trying to swap a wired Lifestyle P111 heating programmer with a Netatmo thermostat. The Lifestyle has a blue, red and yellow wire and the Netatmo requires only two wires. I think I need to isolate the blue and connect the red and yellow to the Netatmo, but any advice would be...
