Recently moved into a new home. My bedroom has an old Lutron light/fan switch combo that I want to replace with a smart one (it's adjacent to another switch that just controls an outlet). I had thought replacing a switch would be a pretty simple task but after starting to look at the manuals im...
Bought a new extractor with a timer and a pullcord, to replace existing extractor with a timer only. Idea was to use the pullcord to turn the fan off completely even when the lights are on. However, after wiring it in according to the instructions I seem to get the pullcord acting as a primary...
Hey people! So, this seems weird to me and was wondering if I might get some opinions.
I am just trying to replace the switch for the bathroom light (because it is kind of hideous...).
So, I just looked at what wiring was working on the old switch, used that configuration on the replacement...
Hi there, I have two isolation switches above a kitchen workcounter. They currently turn off the power to a pair of unswitched sockets which are hidden in a cupboard. They were previously used for a integrated washing machine and tumble drier we had plugged in, which we removed. As the plug is...

Hi, I want to add a PIR to a porch light but I want the original light switch to still behave as it always has.
i.e. both the light switch and the PIR can switch on the light.
The diagram shows what I want to do. The circuit is pretty simple and will work as I want. My question is this... Is it...
Good morning -
I installed a subwoofer assembly in the trunk corner of my BMW 330 coupe.
It is bolted in, as securely as I could make it - and removing it is quite a chore ...
However, it also covers the access panel to my trunk mounted battery. I understand
that if/when I need to change the...
Hello from Quebec. I understand there are conflicting reports as to what can be legally installed here, specifically whether or not a junction box must be placed inbetween the switch and the breaker box.
I've sent my insurance co the question as to what effect installing the transfer switch...
One of my switched ceiling lights or the wall switches (three-way switches at separate entrances to the room) is not working properly. The light will work with some switch positions. With switch A in one position, switch B works properly. When switch A is in the other position, switch B will not...
Hi there,
(noob DIYer here!) Recently moved in and I have an inline extractor fan in my bathroom, which goes up into a crawl space in the loft then out the back of the house.
For some reason, whoever installed the isolator thought it would be a good idea to have the isolator switch up in the...
We have had two LED touch screen mirrors installed in our ensuite. You have a touch button on the mirror to switch off and change brightness and colour. It is intalled so there is a switch on the wall as well - both mirrors are on the same switch.
Hoping someone can help settled a debate - I...
This switch controls 2 outdoor lights. The lights each have 2 live, 2 neutral and 2 earth's plugged into them.
This switch didn't work and when I looked behind it was wired like this!
Anybody know how this should be wired??
Thank you!
Hi all.
DIY question. I've gone to replace a broken pull chord light in my bathroom (switching off mains power at MCU and testing before touching with a Voltage Tester Pen).
There are 2 exposed red wires from two separate sets of housing, an exposed earth wire and a neutral wire that is...
I recently installed a new 15amp circuit breaker, and wired a 14-2 gauge wire to a brand new dimmer switch. From the dimmer switch I daisy chain wired 6 LED recessed lights. When I turned on the circuit breaker the lights all turned on, but the switch wasn't working. I then changed the switch to...
Hello,
We have three bedrooms without lights in their closets and we'd like to add a single light to each. There is an existing 20 Amp circuit that is currently only powering 4 recessed lights and a vanity light. The 4 can lights are connected to a switch in one of the bedrooms. Can I tap into...
