    what coding would you give

    Outside walls with IP23 lights that even a short person like me can touch. (sign lights) What coding would you give? I would be tempted with a C2 but these are recently fitted lights by a professional design company on the outside of a public use building, they couldn't of made such an error...

    conductive soil

    As the electric board installation people are being very unhelpful we will have to stick an earth rod in some reclaimed land on a harbour edge. We are not expecting to find this easy and we have been considering digging a hole, infilling it with that conductive soil stuff you can get and putting...

    Outdoor socket on post

    Need a smart looking outdoor socket on a post, either single or double. Needs to be lockable. Best I could find is the Rolec camping site pillars, but they are too big and in your face (and they are not lockable) It is for a disabled buggy charging point, but it will be near the front of a new...

    Replacing old R80 downlighters

    So what is the best option for a replacement LED unit to cover the old R80 holes - the normal downlighter with the extra wide trim looks awful in my eyes, I have been using the ultra slim surface fittings that have the adjustable bracket to fit any hole, but they still stick out 5 to 10mm. What...

    Would you all mind ripping into this

    A close friends sister has had this report imposed on her - while I accept work is required I think some of the c2's are a tad harsh, just want to confirm my thoughts before i get dragged into a discussion with the estate agent and their sparky (who lives 5 minutes walk from me) As its a 60A...

My...

    Electronic job cards

    Can anyone recommend a electronic job card system for a small company of 5 electricians, preferable run on PC for the 'hub' issuing electronic job cards to android phones, with the capability of the android users being able to select from a pool of jobs if required.

    problem landlord

    Im trying to keep up with paper work from my hospital bed just using my mobile, but I could do with a few pointers to do with a problem landlords inspection. Did the work via an estate agent (we do all thier work) but this particular landlord has kicked off and called us disreputable and trying...

    WiFi camera for monitoring a room

    My mother has been slowly slipping down the inevitable road to the long sleep, as well as work I have been caring for her in the mornings and my sisters doing afternoons and evenings. She is now virtually bedridden, however she still takes herself to the toilet, but in the last week I have twice...

    Bathroom light switch

    So we are refitting the bathroom and the wife does not want a pull cord anymore. The only contact IP rated switches I can find are low voltage or battery wireless ones that are suitable for a bathroom both of which may be fine for the moment, but I just dont fancy the long term possible faults...

    Green slime from old cables

    Is there a conclusive article or risk assessment about green slime (from those old late 1960's cables). The only things that seem to agree are that it is mildly toxic and it does not reduce the insulation resistance. Napit say does not need a rewire several cable manufacturers say it ought to be...

    Rolec smart card meters

    Is there any way to disable the low credit beeping the newer models have. Rolec told me they only do the beeping ones, but they will cause me loads of grief if I install them with the beeping enabled. They are to go into a marina environment and are in the rolec cases, have fitted 2 already and...

    Regs book at office

    Looking at some work for a lady who has recently had a new fitted kitchen. She was concerned about some bits so I had a quick look and found a 3.5KW oven on 1.5mm T&E to a 13A plug top. Can anyone tell me the reg numbers for loads over 3KW needing thier own circuit, not using T&E into a plug top...
