    Recessed light cover - where to buy?

    I have a recessed light over a shower with a 4” glass cover. I broke the glass cover by dropping it :(. Are you able to buy a replacement cover or do you need to buy the entire metal housing and glass that comes with it? I don’t see this at Home Depot or Lowe’s without buying the whole thing...

    Over the holiday period my partner returned home to her apartment with no power. None of the internal breakers in the consumer unit had tripped and so she was unsure what to do.

    Where is the correct place to terminate a seperate earth ran with a SWA ??

    Hi all. I have noticed there are two schools of thought here when running a separate earth with a SWA to a large DB, where is the correct place to terminate the earth ? . We can go straight in to the internal copper earth bar as we have spare unnumbered holes for it , or we can lug it and go on...

    Is it acceptable to run mini trunking as shown in the pic? To my mind it would be safer (and slightly less ugly) to have a drop from each socket and then run it along the top of the skirting. I would be concerned about the trunking coming loose and being more likely to suffer mechanical...

    where can I get an a/c plug with restraint?

    So I want to arrange for a 120v a/c plug to be firmly affixed to the wall, such that it won't slip out of the outlet. Cheater plugs have these metal tabs that you can screw into the outlet, but I don't want a cheater! I want a 3-prong grounded plug with such a metal tab that I can firmly affix...

    My California dryer wall socket has 3 blades shown in picture. I measured across bottom 2 blades = 240VAC. I measured top L-blade with one of the bottom blade = 120V. Is the L-blade a neutral? If yes, why no Ground blade? If the L-blade is Ground instead, then why no Neutral blade? I tried...
