Hi All.
I need to extend the cables for a 3 plate ceiling rose/pendant on ground floor ceiling by 450mm. Can I fix the ceiling rose/pendant to the ceiling joist and then run 3 core 0.75mm flex through the plasterboard ceiling to the light fitting. Or, do I have to extend all three 1.5mm T&E...
Does anyone know where you could purchase one of these from nowadays?
Need to replace one but not had much luck finding anywhere that has them in stock anymore.
I have 2 lights connected to 1 switch. I installed a led light fixture on one light, it had one red wire and one black wires. It was easy to match the wires to the led light fixture. The 2nd light has 2 red and 2 black. Because the 2 lights are wired together. How do I put a led light fixture on...
Hi, want to installed some LED strips in the ceiling and wanted to know how the recessed LED profile is fixed in place and stop the plasterboard from cracking or sagging when it is running parrallel to the ceiling joists. Has anyone done this?
Thanks
Hello everyone, hope all are well.
I'm changing a ceiling rose and have lost the diagram showing where everything was connected (to the old light) and now I'm unsure on some of the wires. There are three cables, with three wires each: -
1 - Brown, Blue, Bare Copper
2 - Red, Black, Bare Copper
3...
I have 16 ceiling spots to be replaced in a room being repurposed as a bathroom. Some will be over a shower, basin and bath hence need to be IP65.
Past experience with sealed unit (ie bulb cannot be replaced) bathroom spots is that they fail long before claimed lifetime and are then difficult...
So I’m an apprentice and only get to do downlighter jobs as foreigners at the weekend, but they’re typically added when the customer no longer wants a pendant so the ceiling is already finished and I’ve never seen downlights being wired while the ceiling is exposed and then finding them after...

WIRING FOR WALL SMART SWITCH FOR CEILING FAN/LIGHT
Just bought a smart wall switch for a ceiling fan/light currently connected to a single switch, fan has pull chains. Pretty sure I know the wires connected to the wall switch, not my first rodeo, but just want to make sure so I don’t blow the...
Hi, there are 3 bundles of wires coming from my ceiling and I've been told they have been tested with a multimeter and have all got a current but I cannot seem to get the light to work, I will provide pictures of the wiring, the pendant and the switch wiring, any advice would be appreciated...
Hi guys,
I have recently encountered that my circuit breaker for the upstairs lights keeps tripping. I flick it back on and immediately it trips off again. I think the issue is coming from the bathroom light. So I have had a look at the ceiling rose and the picture shows what is going on. Note...
A rose in my 1970s kitchen ceiling became loose (one fixing screw had been inserted right on the edge of the hole in the ceiling) and when I removed it I was faced with a jumble of wires.The green & yellow one was attached to the earth terminal in the rose, four red wires were twisted together...
Hi, I need some advice on the wiring for a new ceiling light. I have taken down the original light, and I'm left with the wiring in the image ceiling_wiring_01.jpg. There are three cables coming off a connector block in the ceiling, each with a live and neutral and a single earth wire on its...
Hi,
I am trying to replace an old ceiling light with a new one. My current connection has 3 wires and not sure how I should be wiring this. Please can someone help
Hello. I hope everyone is safe and healthy.
Please see the attached photos for reference. I have a ceiling with a junction box or maybe it should be called a "junction circle/box" - photo #1. It is 3 3/4" in diameter. This is where I want to mate my fixture displayed in photo #2 which is 5"...
Hello,
I've installed a Monsoon Extractor Fan kit today, all is up and running and everything is working with the exception of the LED. When I switch my lights on the other bathroom lights are working fine but the LED supplied with the fan is pulsing. If you fiddle with the bulb then it stops...
I am adding a light fixture in a room I am restoring in my 160 yo house. I have ran a new 12-2 w/ground wire from the ceiling box to a junction box where I am tapping into an existing wire that goes to another room. In the junction box, I have attached all white wires together, including the...
Just replacing a ceiling light and could do with some guidance on sorting out all the wiring.
This is how it was:
And the light is expecting just the 3 wires:
Wondering what's the best way to tackle it. I could do with removing that block in the ceiling altogether and somehow having just 3...
I bought a ceiling fan with LED lights.
After some time the led lights started flashing when I put them on. Now it does not even jump up anymore, only jumps up very weakly or flickers very loudly.
The fan function works fine though.
How can I fix this?
