Evening everyone.
I have had a very fulfilling day after finding a nail through a cable on a ring which was touching neutral and earth... however... I also have to fit either a single or double socket to a difficult area.
Previously there were 2 single sockets in seperate dry lining boxes side...

I don't normally get involved in this but have been asked by customer to fit smoke alarms - this is for a property that will be rented out. I know that mains powered smokes used to be the way to go in this situation as tenants tended to take out the PP3 batteries to use in other equipment...

Hi all,
Was just wondering what you guys and girls use as junction boxes for installing downlights. I have used wago lightbox's along with Scolmore click connector blocks but was hoping there was something that kinda combined the two. I love the 2 part design of the Scolmore but hate the screw...
Hi, I'm not an electrician, I wonder if anyone can help me with a few queries.

Hi all
I am in the middle of replacing lights in a warehouse/office to LED panels, LED high bays etc. The client has asked for an area if possible to be on a timer between 7am and 7pm and then a PIR for the rest of time. It is all ran in with singles in lightning trunking.

My daughter wanted a smart meter but when the fitter came he said he couldn't fit it because "the meter is on the same board as the CU".
I don't have a picture and she lives 120 miles away, but I do know that it is all in her understairs cupboard.
Is this something to be concerned about?

Hi All,
I've been curious for a while as to how my Solar PV is doing compared to a 'typical' install.
Recently, I purchased a Smappee (which is darn useful), and I have also now joined pvoutput.org which is now building a clear picture around my generation and usage.
However, I wanted a simpler...
Evening all..
My customer has a light fitting in a wine cabinet without a lamp in it. The lamp would be approx 22-23cm long. It looks like an S15 type tube lamp but I am unfamiliar with these and wanted to be sure. One reason why I am hesitant with regards the S15 lamp is that from the photos...
