Hello, I'm new to this and I'm looking for someone to review my wiring diagram.
I'm not sure if I need a fuse block because I'm using an XTM branded kit that includes 4 LED light strips. They advertise that this can connect directly to a battery with alligator clips. XTM 4 Bar Light Kit -...
Hi There,
Just wondering if anyone is aware of any devices that automatically preserve vehicle 12V battery life by breaking the circuit once the vehicle is switched off, looking at installing such a device to vehicles in bulk so obviously targeting cost effective solutions and ease of...
I am currently looking to add 12v led cob strip lights to my mother's kitchen but confused what I need. There are currently mains wires under the wall units for the strip lights to connect to but when I measure the voltage with a multimeter it recording as 12v AC max, from what I can see online...
Hi All,

Hi - On our small vessel we have a 12v failry powerful motor to run the autopilot, where the power is supplied by the boat's battery bank. On an 'independant' system we have 240v that is supplied via an inverter, but the power originates from the same battery bank as the 12v system. The...
Hi, I have very little electrical experience and would like a bit of advice. I have a kerosene pump installed in the back of my van. According to the manual, it draws 44a. It's powered by a leisure battery (split charge relay).
The issue is, the pump is meant to have a 80L/min flow rate, but...
I purchased a house that has a really cool 12v halogen setup where two wires are suspended across the ceiling in two different locations, and each of which carries four 50W halogen bulbs. Each has a separate driver and dimmer.
I first replaced the halogen bulbs with 8w LEDs, and they worked...
Is there such a thing as a double breaker that has a separate DC and AC line passing through it?
I need a 12v (25 amp) line and a 240v (15 amp) line that if one is tripped the flow on both lines will stop.
I’m using it for a 240v (15 amp) marine air conditioner that requires a 12v (25 amp) water...
I have a portable fridge in the caravan. It errors when connected to the fridge circuit in the van but does not error if I connect it directly to the andersson plug input to the van.
The fridge has L/M/H cutout circuit and if the voltage gets low the fridge is designed to cut out and error...
I have installed a number of 120v smart light switches and smart bulbs which I have set up on a schedule via an app. I would like to add another smart light switch for a light fixture that has a 120v to 12v transformer inside the light fixture, lighting six 12v (previously halogen) currently LED...
Hi. I have a blink video doorbell and want to connect a 12v mechanical bell (pic attached below). I know Blink only allow 16v-24v AC transformers for wired connection. I know I can attach only a few mechanical door chimes but the one below is preferred as the bell is loud (90db) and I have used...
Hi Forum people. First time post here.
I have a pair of semi flush fittings that are currently 10 Halogen capsules per fitting. I want to convert these to LED at 2 watts per capsule. Space is a very limiting factor. Each fitting currently has a round transformer inside. I only have an 80mm...
Hey guys,
I am stumped.
I have some 12v rgb Led Lights which come with their own controller and you control the light via the phone app.
They don't make such a light with voice command so I decided to buy another 12v LED controller that does have voice command.
I have no idea why but lights...
Hello, I am currently DIY upgrading a caravan with my girlfriend but need some advice.
The (very old) 230VAC to 13.8VDC power supply broke down and needs to be replaced. It is rated with 10A output but I would like to replace it with a 12V one with at least 15A. The old supply was intended to...
Hi,
I am in the process of setting up a diesel heater to warm our conservatory and need to provide 12v power to it. I have purchased a CCTV distribution box which essentially has a 30amp convertor wired to distribution board. My plan is to remove the distribution board and wire the power...
I am looking at having a camping setup with 3 x 12v 100ah lithium batteries. My setup is such that the ute canopy lifts off and stays at site as such so does the battery setup. I am keen to see if I can find a way to separate one if required and charge in the car while driving around. However...
