    F1 Season 2017

    Much like last years thread, testing still ahead, but I wonder whether this years cars will make things more interesting, all will it still be the procession behind the Mercedes's two cars, with the rest, best of the rest? For some reason, contentiously, I've decided on Sky Q to see F1 in ultra...

I removed the conductors from the RCBO and checked just that circuit. Now weirdly, when I go to one of the sockets and test either way, the value for L-E...

    Very interesting regarding down lighters.

    During a conversation with a local building control guy on site today something came up that I found to be an interesting twist. These days we all tend to fit fire rated down lighters, with the open type becoming more and more frowned upon for obvious reasons. Now the conversation got around to...
