What is the best/worst Christmas cracker joke you have had? Q. What do you call an old snowman? A. Water

Further to what chewie said, need I remind you that this is the DIY part of the forum, and it is a 99% certainty that those who ask questions have no means of electrical testing at all, which is why they come here and ask for advice. Also the OP has read the replies, but has as yet declined to...

Looks like its an "electro osmosis damp prevention device" guaranteed to prevent damp and even dry the wall out. Everyone else knows it as a large bucket of snake oil, odd thing is not only did people believe it, they were not cheap.

As has been said, so long as you get a power supply of the same voltage and same or higher current you will have no problem, that said you can get a direct replacement, BUT there are around 20 of them all with the same part number, but different output socket (some barrel like you have, some 2...

Gentlemen, a polite reminder, keep it friendly (as you are)

It depends who wired something as to what colours they chose to use. It could also be said it should have coloured sleeving to denote what does what, but it hasn't, that's life.

Not necessarily the case. Perhaps they (meter readers) did not want to "rock the boat" so say nothing.

Would that not depend on. 1) The switch you choose (Your choice, you have to look at it all the time, we don't) 2) Is there a neutral at the switch (Most smart switches require a neutral) 3) Can the smart switch operate a PIR? (I have never tried, but most smart switches use "electronics"...

Me neither. But it seems the bod behind the counter is not allowed to say what we are all thinking.

The PIRs I had lasted almost 10 years, that's the problem. The ones that were made 10+ years ago are not made now. Some look similar, but as they say............"They don't make 'em like they used to."

I wouldn't. A single light will fail when you don't want it to, but more to the point, the higher up it is the more the light will spread to places it will be annoying (Seems to be the norm around here) I would suggest you have two PIRs and two lights, wire the lights/pirs in parallel. If it...

Probably because we do not have "3 way" switches. That's a term that Americans use. We use the term "2 way" So you want a 3 gang 2 way switch (in black) Red looks ok, not sure about yellow :)

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the dome for the moving head? and when do we see the video?

Are you setting up a bright light near him, and you stand in front of this light? I thought you were shadowing him? 😆 Pardon me asking, what exactly have you done/doing/what has he showed you?

As it is a kitchen appliance, you really need the opinion of someone who works with them every day, why not ask at the UK white goods forum? Click here to go there They will need the make and model of the cooker hood.

As you would be SE I would have thought that is down to you to pay, as well as any parking/parking fines. On the lighter side, a company I worked for, all company vehicles were set up, so the company paid the (London) congestion charge, worked well until we started to get new vehicles, someone...

Just a few thoughts in 30 seconds. Being SE If they have little or no work for a while you get no money at all. You have to do your own Tax You have to make time to do all paperwork Fund your own transport Repair own transport / no pay if transport is in garage On the books Company vehicle...

The first place to look would be at the first working light.
