After a period of very heavy and prolonged rain my electricity trips
In most cases after heavy rain, I've found it to be an outside light causing the problem. This could be a pir light outside of the shed, or garden lights coming from the shed etc.- OnlQQker

Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube
Hi @Avo Mk8 Yes I've got one of those, the thing is I've never made a table lamp before, so I don't want to give away something that I don't feel is safe, I know shops sell table lamps without a worry, but I can't do much abut that! What I really don't like is the live prong. Everything...- OnlQQker

Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube
I ordered a bayonet with a switch. To be honest I assumed (wrongly) that the prongs in the bayonet only became live when pushed down. Yet I do have an hazy image of putting my fingers into one of these when I was a kid... I'm trying to research whether I can run 12v from transformer, up the...- OnlQQker

Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube
Finally put it all together and tested cables for continuity back to the 3amp plug. My daughter now wants it lol, so I'm going to have to make another one. But something I noticed when testing, is the one prong is live in the bayonet when the bulb is removed, I tested other lamps in the...- OnlQQker

UK Hanging a 30kg Chandelier
Could you post another picture of where those bolts go into the concrete? I'm assuming they are going into concrete, but I can't see... It may be possible to reinforce the ceiling frame with an M10 and chain (you may need to rod either side directly next to light fitting)...- OnlQQker

UK Hanging a 30kg Chandelier
When you say metal stud do you mean an RSJ (rolled steel beam) or metal stud as in trunking/ceiling grid. It's hard to say what to do without knowing what you're actually fixing it too. The fixing could be sufficient but what it's fixed to might not be. Any chance of a picture?- OnlQQker

Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube
Many thanks, I will re drill the angle for the cable, debur the internal tube with a round file and add heat shrink, then search the web for some cable straddles. Thanks so much for the help/guidance! @UNG and @James ❤️- OnlQQker

Grommets and 10mm Hollow Threaded Tube
Hello everyone, I'm currently making a table lamp out of driftwood found on the beach. Does anybody have any ideas about the cable passing through the 10mm threaded rod regarding grommets. I'm wondering whether I should use 3/8 BSP to 15mm plumbing connection to get me into a wider diameter...- OnlQQker
