    Length of lamps.

    What are the 14 watt equivalent to?

    Length of lamps.

    The fittings need to be deep enough to take a energy saving gu10 lamp. With normal downlighters it don't matter as they are not enclosed. The one's you link to are Jcc and denmans have quoted me on them. I can get another make cheaper though through toolstation but want to make sure that a...

    Length of lamps.

    I'm after some fire rated downlighters. Does anyone know if the compact flourescent gu10 lamps are longer than a standard one? Don't want them poking out the end!!

    Meter seals

    I rarely pull the fuse. I usually just replace the tails to 25mm and connect to the meter.

    consumer unit

    I find MK excellent for top entry. In fact it's the only board i fit. Aesthetically its one of the better boards and i know i'll be able to get the bits in years to come, unlike some of the cheapy ones.

    Whats your opinion on this ......

    If i was putting my name to the job it'd be on a RCD. That cable if ok would be a good choice for switch drops.

    Whats your opinion on this ......

    Didn't think the regs defined that it differentiated between commercial and domestic. Only that it was to be for use by ordinary persons and are intended for general use. Socket outlets in a commercial installation would be used by ordinary persons in my opinion.

    I'll check it against my other test kit and my check box. Not sure if it has been calibrated, how much will it cost? I see that they have calibration days at Eddies and Neweys. Which one has been sold 20 times? Nothing really to tell me. I may even get work off the back of work i do for him!

    I'm quite sure that anything that i do outside of my work, they will have little interest in. I'll be getting my own meters as if theirs were to be stolen in my own van while i was using them outside of their work, they'd be less than impressed.

    I don't think you've understood that my employer will have little interest in what i do after work as they would have no interest in any of the work. It would not conflict with anything that they do. I understand that you are just giving advice but if i thought that i'd be in any way abusing my...

    Anything i do won't affect my employer as he's not in the public domain. Why would the builder be deducting 20%? I won't be employed by him. I would be advising the IR. I was going to use my test kit from work, or i could get my own. Can't see why i couldn't use the works one if i can get...
