    LED possible strip lighting above worktops (under wall units)

    Hi, more advice required, about LED lighting. I'm so well out of date with these things. An Ashley/Rock HAL 96T batten holder was all that was needed in my time! If you were posh, a fluorescent strip light!. I intend to install LED lighting above the worktops. I looked at a video clip yesterday...

    Lewden RCBO consumer units

    Does anyone have any experience with these ? Have been offered some at a great price but I have no experience of the brand whatsoever. I will probably try one or two out but just wondered if anyone could offer direct experience of these ?

    PAT testing of Handwash units Yes or No

    Having a few thoughts on what should and shouldn't come under PAT testing under the COP 4th Edition. I have no doubt wall heaters screwed to the wall and connected via a flex and FCU should be PAT tested, along with hand dryers, but does the same apply to Handwash units and 5-10litre water...

    C2 or C3

    I would value your opinions on this. I did an EICR and found two lights in a bedroom that are florescent lights so class 1 but the lighting circuit is old and does not have an earth. However, the lights are in vanity units, so you cannot touch the units without dismantling the vanity units. As...

    Do I bring up to current regs?

    Hi all, It says that if you install a new circuit you produce an EIC. Is that for the whole installation as well? or just that circuit. As the rest of the install may not pass current regs. Many thanks LH
