I had an EV charger installed a couple months back...

I also have motion sensor cameras 8n that Hall that detect nothing.

I am in the UK and these will be for outside. Just want to make sure I don't electrocute myself.
The lights will be hanging - not levitating like in the...

Hello, new here!
Would greatly appreciate some input. I'll first say I intend to get an Indesit technician to take a proper look tomorrow, but I'm curious.
