This is the type. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Osram-Dulux-D-E-PL-26w-840-G24Q-3-4-pin-cool-white-CFL-bulb-lamp-/221522974936?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&hash=item3393cc58d8

These are the type of lights cut into the tiles on a grid ceiling.The lamp is recessed up into the fitting. He's got loads of the 40w tubular flouresents that I'm removing the gear and replacing with 15w LED trays but hes asking can we just change the bulbs in the others. I dont think they...

Hi Guys I have seen a few convertors for lamp holders. Customer want to fit LED lamps in his care home. Most of the fittings have 26w 4 pin lamps Does anyone know if you can get these to convert from 4 pin CFL lamps to standard lamp holders so as to fit LED lamps Cheers

Hi, Customer complaining that bulbs are blowing. Fitting is a 3 x spot with 60w R63 spots. Tells me he was having problems previously so got the fitting changed and apparently has only had 3-6 mths use. Fitting is only a cheap plastic type. As this fitting has recently blown 2 bulbs he asked me...

The R1 R2 test was carried out by shorting out at the pillar and taking the reading at the streetlighting column which there are only 2 on the circuit.Fisrt one is 30m from the pillar and the other is another 30m away. In reply to a previous post the circuit is back up by a BS88 fuse in the...

We've even used 2 different testers so rules that out. From the DNO cut out we've run a set of DI tails and earth into a main cut out which then feeds out to col 1 and then loops out to col 2

The swa is terminated into a gland which is attached to a brass glanding plate on the cut out.From that plate we run a 10mm to the earth terminal within the cut out out and also take a 10mm to a earth block,from there we run a 10mm to the col and then the door. Everything is bonded and...

Hi all. After a bit of advice on this please. I work on streetlighting as my main job. We have a feeder pillar which basically feeds 2 streetlights Ze at the Feeder Pillar is a PME system and was 0.30 ohmns. R1+R2 was measured as 0.86 so my total Zs will be 0.30+0.86. 1.16 ohmns. As this job...

Its a childrens day nursery. Fitting rcd socket fronts is another easy option.

The main DB was this one which also fed 2 other boards elsewhere in the building.Both new boards have RCD's fitted. The circuit in the main DB feeds 3 socket outlets without rcd protection.I don't know the exct reg but sure it says somewhere about sockets not under supervision should have rcd...

Hi I'm after a bit of advice please. Did a ECIR yesterday.Board was MEM Memshield 2 3 phase.There was a circuit feeding sockets fed from a 16a mcb. This circuit has no rcd protection so I thought the easy option is just fit a RCBO. Does anyone know if these are available or will any other type...

Thanks to all who took the time to respond and share their thoughts,knowledge and experience.Liked the one by "Springcrocus" who went into quite a bit of detail which was good.I did actually think it was quite an in depth test and thought you had to test everything hence the comment about the

Hi Guys, Need a bit of advice please. I've been asked could I do an electrical certificate for a property my mate wants to rent out.Am I right in thinking this would this be carried out using the EICR form? He reckons on paying
