    new consumer units.

    has anyone started fitting new metal clad consumer units yet. if so what are you using to form the glands where the cables enter the boxes. They seem to be selling the boxes down here but there is not much else with them yet. or are you still fitting insulated ones until jan 2016?

    BG consumer units

    So I generally don't fit these. I tried one a few years back, thought it was generally quite shoddy. My mate also tried a couple and reported 2 cases of RCDs not meeting trip times straight out of the box. Any cost saving instantly negated in lost time, back to a decent brand. Last week I...

    Metal consumer units

    Now the amendment 3 has a requirement for none combustible consumer units (if I am reading it right), what do you guys think? Was it a smart move? It seems like a trade off between an energized frame for fire resilience.

    Integrated LED Downlighters or Separates?

    Why do many sparkies fit integrated LED downlights such as the JCC FGLED range? I wouldn't fit combined units at all, at least not in a domestic situation. You're saddling the client with an expensive reinstallation bill if in the future he wants, for example, warm white instead of cool white...
