Re: Tell us about your faults !
Today i have walked away from a job , i dont do that very often ,as a passionate electrican ,i always try my best to make an installation as safe as i can ,well this one was just well ,, ive had a few weeks of them i can tell you , down lighters not working in a bungalow ,extension flat roof .you know the type 40 down lighters 12 volt ,not a transformer in sight, took a light fitting down , odd wiring . two lives in and neutral joined together ,odd , this was the case on every light fitting except the last L and N all i had to go one was the wire 6" inch from the ceiling when the fitting was removed tracked down to 2 circuits fed off a 2 gang light switch ,after 3 hours of testing and scratching my head and moving a box of Xmas lights the penny dropped ,they were not , oh yes they were ( sounds like a panto here lol) and yes they were 2 circuits of 20 lamps all wired in series , basically and industrial set of Xmas lights .i pointed out that she would have continuose problems with her lighting and it needed to altered with transformers on every light all 40 of them she was not prepaired to spend any money so it was bye from me
