Before I started working where i do, the DNO walked away from a job (feeder pillar for allotments i think) because the duct was the wrong colour - don't know what "we" installed but it was WRONG! :red card

what differance does no underware make?

New Am2 has no broken accessories if the lamp is broken that is not the fault, just a sad coincidence. Bare in mind the only faults they can put on are those they can switch in and out of the circuit. I had two on heating system. Read the fault discription and think about what may cause the...

Do people not know the ratings of "alternative fuses??!!" :tongue in cheek:tongue in cheek

Matty, I agree, head torch the way to go. It points the way you're looking - ideal when rutting about in lofts and the like. Easier than having to carry a torch and all your gear too. I

These tend to grab badly as they break through. I deffinatly would NOT use one for this job.

My mate regularly puts 999 in ins resist box, our meter reads >1000 and 10000KA in that box. Given up telling him now.

Wifes cousin just had a builder in for some alterations in the kitchen. They'd asked me to do the wiring, which i said i'd do and notify the hard way to LABC as not a scam member. I thought all agreed and just waiting for the call. Heard from a family member, builders in and electrician...

Had further words with my colleague today, and he said "DO WHAT YOU WANT!" Spoke to manager today, he'd forgotten its a central battery system and saw my point straight away. He is sending the guy who plans the works in the next couple of days. That'll be fine as plenty of other work to be...

No that wasnt on a central battery system, self contained and "built in" emergency lights. This is the first time I've worked on a central battery system.

ROTFWL Thanks Noz :Salute Kerching, looks like Noz beat you to it. :) Thankyou all very much for all your help.

thanks steps, put me in a very uncomfortable position, didn't want to take no for an answer. Very funny that he didn't want "qualified" lad to do it as "seen his work". Liked mine better. Made my day, but still no!

:) never looked at it like that before. Worth a thought. I Turned down a job the other day in a school, 3m of dado trunking. They'd asked our company to quote, then asked me to do it cheaper. I've been working there for best part of 9 months, so they had my number. Just seems wrong to bite...

Thanks very much, At least I feel that I'm not stupid. We've done a fair few self contained emls on roc roses wired in LSF 2/3core&cpc. I have no problem with that arrangement, as lets face it, they glow on the floor with no wires attached. Just this system relies on an electrically...

No manufacturer for the one she wants to keep as ex display/no stock. Good thinking, I'll have a word with the garden centre at the weekend to see if they can help. I'll mention that they need to learn how to wire a plug too (L/N reversed) The one that went back faulty was a different...

Thanks sidey, and yes steps i think that was the reason. Personally I have no problem saying i don't know. I know fusing a neutral is a no-no, but wasn't sure about 50vdc systems. I don't have any of the BS's, as yes, employed by a company. I'm still an apprentice (waiting for parerwork...

Hi, Mother-out-law just bought a Ex-displaywater feature with numerous blue LED's. Supposed to be fully working, but, no supply for the LED's. It looks like the original pump has given up and been replaced with a small pond pump. The wires to the LED's have been cut off. She doesn't want to...

thanks jimbob1, been here a while, welcome to you too

Hi peeps, Had a discussion (heated) at work today. We are doing a refurb on a building, builders moving walls etc, which necessitates moving some emergency lights and adding some extras. The existing system is 50v central battery system wired in white pyro. My colleagues plan is to break...
