    Best euro converter plug for wood burning hot tub ?

    Hi what external waterproof socket will allow for the use of 2 SC3P euro 2 pin to uk 3 pin convertors? I've tried the flip up versions but they won't even fit in due to the tapering of the housing - let alone let the waterproof lid shut! (I tried LAP, 2G & MK) I need to run LEDs ( 10w / 240v...

    Keeping the body fit

    Being currently young and with limited aches and pains I am naturally worried about what a life time as an electrician will do to my back and other joints.

    Fit a downlight into soffit but wasn't wood!

    I drilled into a soffit to fit a downlight. The soffit wasn't wood, growing a bit concerned it's asbestos. Few questions: 1. If it's not wood, what other building material could it be?

    Does anyone ever fit non-fire rated downlights?

    I have refused to fit customer supplied non fire rated downlights before as there were living quarters above but I'm never too sure of the 'rules' in this case. Approved document B is huge and I cannot find where it relates to this subject? From reading different threads on the net it seems...

    Why do we fit a 10mm cable for showers?

    I'm reading a thread at the moment about a 9.8kW shower that has been installed on a 6mm cable. My natural instinct was to think that's wrong, it should be on a 10mm. Most of us would fit a 10mm cable and believe that to be to the right choice but if the reference method is C then the 6mm has a...

    What type of bulb will fit into this light socket

    Hi guys, I am a DIY homeowner and the light in my bathroom went out. I stupidly threw away the bulb without checking the connector but I noted down the model number. It was an osram dulux el longlife 20w/41-827 but I can't for the life of me find it online. I have attatched 2 pictures of what...

    Can anybody shed some light on these dynamos as to what they fit?

    Part numbers are as follows: C45NV2 228069 6V, C45N 228183 6V, C45 12v but we don't have number for that one as they have been rusted off, and the other one is a C45A 224042 12v. thanks in advance.
