Thanks everyone for your help, looks like I have to resite the supply then, oh well

I have an existing "cooker point" mounted close to an electric oven. We are having a new kitchen fitted and the oven will be sited further away. Obviously I don't want to resite the supply point unless absolutely necessary so my question is is there any regulation governing the length cable can...

Thanks, Andy, think I've convinced him to go for the CPC one - just got to wait for them to have a "carriage free" weekend now

Thanks for all your responses I tend to agree that it would be easier to dispose of the set in question but I think there may be some sentimental value to them I don't suppose any one knows where he could get a replacement transformer, he said he's tried all the obvious places (obvious to us...

A relative of mine has a set of Christmas lights who's transformer has died He states the label says "220-240vac, 50hz, 15va, SEC: 24vac, Max. 10va" and he wants to replace with one that says "230-240 50Hz. 24v - 300mA 7.2VA" The question is will it be ok? I'm afraid that's all the...

Take me a little while to get to Maplins for the switch so "on hold" for a few days Meanwhile thanks to everyone who gave assistance and advice. Cheers! :D

How's this look (don't laugh)?

Sorry, still can't see a link for the switch

Try what?

Is this picture ok? If that switch is not the correct one can you direct me to a site where I could actually get it?

Sorry, I'm not an electrician (that's why I am here seeking your help :| ) How about this switch then at http://cpc.farnell.com/eterna/xs63w/lighting-autoswitch/dp/LA02761 Re the the other switch suggested (from CPC) - I can't get enough information on it tell wether it would be ok. Also I...

OK, I have a light sensor with wire terminals marked "N", "N", "L" and "Lv". I have attached pictures of a relay (Ref no:6012-8230BP 2 pole 8 pin 230VAC plug in relay - MCG) and a "8 pin base" (Ref no:9020-BLKBP 8 pin base - MCG) that I was told by City Electrical Factors would do the job. Is...

A drwaing would really be appreciated and where to get the parts from

It's for a set of LED plinth lights in a kitchen The first switch looks the best bet but the light set works off a plug in transformer and also would have a problem locating that type of switch

Thanks for that, it is a good (and simple) idea. The problem there is that I really need to hide the "workings" away while mounting the "switch" somewhere else (that is easily accessible)

Need help, again Does a device exist or can something be created to do the following: I want a light to come on/be activated when it gets dark but be able to be switched off manually then (and here's the trickey bit) come back on when it gets dark again the following day WITHOUT me having to...

Thanks to everyone for their help. Eventually realised (with your help) that this may just be beyond me and called in a qualified sparks - so a few quid lighter but live to fight another day. Thanks again, gents, keep up the good work

yes, rcd on the consumer unit

Need to fit an extractor fan in a bathroom - it is the sort that can be set to continue running when turned off and I want it to have its own switch i.e. NOT be controlled by the exisisting pull cord Looking at the existing wiring (in the loft) there is one cable, red black and earth, coming...

That did it, thanks for your helpApplaud Smiley
