    Decided to go with the Entryphone kit. Placed an online order last week. The following day I had a call from them telling me I had ordered parts that I may not actually require. Anyway, turned out I didn't require these so they cancelled the order and emailed me a new quotation, all I had to do...

    Dimming down lights

    Dimming down lights

    Cheers KME. I have noticed that the maximum rating for some grid switches reduces to 200w when alongside others in a grid switch. I have had a look at CFL downlights. This would reduce the load on the dimmers. However cost is an issue with dimmable CFL's. LED is another option as already...

    Dimming down lights

    Will have to speak to the architect then. Most of the other rooms are low energy fittings. All outside lights are 28w 2d fittings. Just kitchen / dining has all these downlights. Cheers. GS

    Help on notifiable work

    As he is a spark from N Ireland perhaps he was not aware he had to notify LABC before he started work as he is not enrolled as a DI. Maybe he was under the impression that he could notify after the job was complete? Cheers GS
