Hi guys, Just a little stuck on an emergency light that i've wired and was hoping someone might be able to put me right if possible. It's a Thorn non-maintained emergency light. 4 terminals on light: L1 L2 N E I've taken the permanent live to L1, the switch live to L2, and the neutral to...

This is an example of the light. Will the interlinked live go in with the white wires and the neutral just go in with the neutral?

The PIR light is just a basic PIR light.

I've just been to look at a job to install a new feed for a cooker (electric oven). Even though the oven only requires a 2.5mm cable I was thinking of suggesting to the customer to run a larger cable so that if in the future they change to an electric hob and oven they won't need to run another...

This is getting confusing!!! I (Dambo) qualified as an electrician last year. Digger's one of the lads I live with. He's just started to train as electrician. I've been logged in today trying to find out about an electric towel rail problem and he's been on trying to find out about the neutral...

I've been to see a customer today who's electric bathroom towel rail isn't working. I've checked to see if there is any power going to it and there's 230v across L and N but the towel rail isn't heating up at all. Has anyone come across this before? Or does anyone have any idea what might be...
