For flipps sake, don't let westwood see this vid, he'll have a choc box attack

As an aside, just how many down lights do you need; they might planes circling to try & land in that kitchen.

As another aside, I just wonder what was the point of the tests he did to find an intermittent fault. Don't think I'll subscribe.

It was in Hampstead, so a Sparks doing a job after 17:00 means its a either money job or the home owner is a hottie.

You can tell that, by the number of down lights the previous electrician installed.

There are several things which irritate me about this fella.
1. It irritates the --- off me people who look like they are about to collapse because they haven't had morning coffee.
2. People who make a real drama out of the simplest jobs.
3. People who make out "choc boxes" are actually better than unenclosed block connectors when in fact they are both as bad as each other.
4. People who drone on and on and on and on.

I would actually want to kick his --- and say GET ON WITH IT you boring, uninteresting person.

 

[Midwest]

I wonder if his boss knows, he's sat around drinking cups of coffee and filming himself. If he's his boss, he obviously charging shed loads, to be doing that.

And his down lights are crap

Didn't realise I had opened a can of worms

 

[westward10]

He wants to have a quick look at Reg 559.5.1 to realise that circular junction box is not a suitable luminare coupler nor does it incorporate cord restraint. Just noticed the sunglasses on his head what a ****.

 

[westward10]

Just added a comment to him on YouTube

You think he 's a bit of a prat then Westy

He is one of these people that talk a good job but gives a poor one, as my old gaffer used to say to me "If bull**** was music you would be the king of jazz"

Too right, otherwise he'd be on his way home at 16:30

 

[Squid]

Those lights though, nearly the same size as the ones on my E30, I wonder if they would fit the car?

 

[LankyWill]

Cant say i rate any of his fault finding methods, the tests he did were pointless. Why test an rcd with loads connected? Zs isnt going to give you much to go by either, he loves the sound of his own voice.

Chock boxes are too time consuming for me, wago light box and wagos is the answer. Hager j501 is just as versatile aswell, the whole coffee diva fit made me cringe.

 

[telectrix]

i stood for 10 seconds of his whining southern pouff voice and so didn't see most of it.

 

[Toneyz]

I'm surprised that he did not do a insulation test to earth ?

 

[sparkdog]

what an annoying ....person. I would be doing an insulation check at 250V on the tripping circuit as a first step.

 

[Toneyz]

Don't tell Pete at least its one from this side of the Atlantic.

 

[Billsays]

He's a bit full of himself ain't he? ....... the coffee thing was pathetic, he should have anticipated having to improve the terminations on the downlights, you shouldn't be charging extra for something entirely predictable, and I hope he didn't charge for the RCD call out. No insulation resistance test or earth leakage test? He just done a few irrelevant tests to justify his fee!

 

[Toneyz]

What is it with people and coffee these days biggest rip off going call it some trendy name and add a couple of ££££

 

[westward10]

Just added a comment to him on YouTube

He has actually replied to me and said he is going back and he will change the circular junction box.

 

[westward10]

Another reply from him he is going to try some Hager ones in the week and put up a review, can't wait.

 

[Midwest]

I do wonder how he makes his money, spending most of his time filming himself. But I guess his prospective clients may watch his vids, and think what a wonderful chap he is, being a coffee drinker and all that

Personally, a great bit of PR

nah.. all gob and no go.

Beer and crisps at the ready .......

There's coffee and there's coffee. It's like anything, when you've seen what goes into a quality product you can see where the money is.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

I like him.

I like him.

There's always one to buck the trend

 

[Pete999]

Yes but you're biased

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

He takes pride in his work clearly, although it's not always right. Everyone on here has used a junction box to connect up spotlights at some point! Atleast he didn't just re wrap his flex around the cores and re bend them over like inner a lot would!

 

[telectrix]

never had any time for these over-priced fancy stupidly named coffees. coffee is cofffee

2 heaped spoons nescak origiginal ( or the lidl stuff, same but 1/3 the rice). 3 spoons white sugar, 1 fl/oz. scotch. cow juice optional.

Bloody phone, I have no idea what that was suppose to mean either haha!

I have to confess, in treating myself to one of those new fangled coffee machines, won't mention the price, but I had to re-mortgage the house.

I can make a flat white, cappuccino, café latte, Long Macchiato, Short Macchiato, white Americano and expresso. The only one I seem to get right, is the expresso. Think that's because you have to do something with the milk.

Anyhows, it impress the pants off people. Especially trades people from the NIC

If your swigging down your coffee like he does you must be ----ed by the end of the day!.

Its gonna be one of this summers big blockbusters.

I thought caffeine gave you that extra edge, even philosophically speaking

It is going to be called One Cock and a Junction Box.

There's a sitcom in there somewhere

 

[Leesparkykent]

I like him...apart from the posh boy accent. Should of used a JB with strain relief and a bit of insulation resistance testing wouldn't of gone a miss.

 

[Hellmooth]

I'm the same, he takes pride in his work and some of his other videos are good, makes a change from half the stuff we come across!

 

[westward10]

Yep I would take pride in my work if I fitted "choc boxes" and circular junction boxes to downlights, he is the product of modern teaching methods, looks the part has all the shiny tools and gadgets and that is where it ends.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

I take it he's not grown on you over time then.

 

[westward10]

He is probably a perfectly decent bloke but it irritates the --- off me when people post YouTube videos using inappropriate installation methods.

Quick question as have been out of the game for a while what would be the correct method/junction box for this job?

 

[telectrix]

should fit through the downlight hole so it's accessible by pulling out the fitting.should have cable restraints on the cable sheath,a wagobox is ideal esp with lever wagosrather than screw terminal blocks.
