    Worth becoming an electrician with no drivers license?

    What title says basically. Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find anything. I'm 23, finished a degree in costume a year ago and looking for a career change for a number of reasons I won't bore you with. I'm unable to drive due to ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) because it...

    LED Strips wiring - various strips length to 2 drivers?

    Hi all, I got my place recently renovated with a cove light installed in my living room. The issue is that my contractor engaged with an electrician who didn't seem to know too much and got a bad result, so I'm looking at re-wiring by myself. The cove is roughly 3 x 3.7m. I have 2 x 80W 12V...

    Matching led drivers

    Hi guys - I need to replace an LED driver for one of my downlights. I know how to make sure the bulb is compatible with the driver, but as I can’t find the exact same driver as those which connect to the other bulbs, I’m worried that it might perform differently to the others. My question...

    Incomplete light fitting.

    My client has bought these 'antique' lights, stop sniggering at the back, but they are incomplete. Anyone know what the missing part is and if they can be bought separately? 1599753322 Is this the kind of thing that's needed?

    Two serially placed led drivers?

    I am seeing a strange design and i was hoping somebody could shed some light. I have a regular driver (42W constant current, 28-56v, 0-10v dim), but upstream (feeding to the line/neutral inputs) there is another driver that appears to be only acting as a filter. I wanted to understand before...

    LED drivers not giving out correct voltage

    I've just bought a bunch of led drivers (12VDC), but they're giving out between 24-32VDC. I'm assuming their faulty. However, testing my old halogen drivers (12VAC), the voltage their outputting on a dimmer (fully on) is only 7VAC. My multimeter seems fine - just getting a bit confused as...

    LED drivers (DALI) regulary fail

    In a new building about 400 TCI LED drivers of type 122692 were installed. This concerns DALI drivers. The vast majority of these drivers are in a dimmable setup (DALI).

    Car insurance for young drivers

    My son, who is just 19 has just received his insurance renewal and its £524 Not bad I think, but as he's shortly to start a full time job/ apprenticeship I told him to make sure they knew about his change of status from "student" to "apprentice" and he also needs a higher mileage too due to the...
