Hello,

I am trying to create a custom light/chandelier to hang above a kitchen island.
The roof above this island is irregular (see image 1) and I have 2 points to connect to (the larger one actually has a double cable). I don't necessarily need to use all the points, I can just use one then...

Hello,
my cousin gave me a led fixture for which the power supply is no longer working. He threw it away so I cannot look at the specs there. He says he measured 78v out of the power supply before throwing it away, but he did not sound convincing.
In the pictures attached you can see the whole...

Hello, all,
I am seeking advice to fit a new fixture I brought just recently. Currently active is a simple rose with bulb. I’m a novice when it comes to electrics, can change a few plug sockets and sometimes a light, but this baffles me.
The junction box with the new light comes with the clip...
I want to change the nasty looking light fitting in my daughters room. Simple enough, grabbed a new pendant type rose thing (can you tell I’m a pro?) and started to take off the current fixture.
Here is where the issues began, I was expecting the normal 3 wire setup but I was met with...
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I know little about electricals apart from wiring a plug! It's something I've wanted to always learn even just the basics so I am grateful for any advice.
I've had a 3 bulb ceiling light fixture for a few weeks now. I cannot for the life of me figure it out. It's...
Hi all,
I've just moved into a rental house and am having a nightmare figuring out what type of light bulb to use in the ceiling fixture in one of the upstairs rooms.
The bulb that's in the fixture now works, although does not dim (if I turn the dial at the wall). It also happens to be a very...

I need to fit a lighting fitting that has two silver wires running out of the fixture, they are not labelled or coloured. The current fixture in the ceiling also has two wires, one is brown and the other blue.

So I bought a light fixture from a shop which runs a 60w candle bulb. I have rewired it using a block to connect it to a plug.
All the wires are connected to the correct nodes within the block and plug.
Unfortunately I am receiving no light from the bulb when switched on.
Any advice is welcome.

I am not an electrician, but before I go and call out fellows in the trade who charge by the hour just to give an opinion, I thought I'd ask you gentlefolk some questions:
I have two bathrooms, one with a sliding-door shower alone, another with a bathtub with an over-bath shower.
The first...

So on one bedroom light in a clients home, Switch off at the pendant L-> N = 30Volts, L->E = 108-110Volts, N->E=244Volts

Slightly strangely the light...
Hi, I'm hoping someone here will be able to help. Recently the ceiling light in the sitting room fell down and was hanging by the wires. When I took it down I noticed there was a long nut which had fractured. It's like an extension nut but has a hole along one side for the wires to pass through...
