    Can I be a 40yr old apprentice!!!

    If you are an apprentice then you can not expect the "qualified wage" despite your age, as binky asks could you afford the drop in wages? Also it would be up to the employer who you work with where you go, it would be unfair to give one electrician two apprentices, yes if you are on a big...

    Flickering LED Spots Why?

    Yep. :cool: I also doubt it will solve the problem, since you have a compatibility problem. It does stop LEDs from glowing when they are switched off. (But that is not the problem you have)

    Flickering LED Spots Why?

    What you are experiencing is quite common. It is due to incompatibility between lamps and dimmer. Unlike "old" lamps that just had a wire in a bulb that gets very hot and glows brighter and brighter. LED's have to have electronic drivers, not all drivers work with all dimmers. (Some drivers are...

    Fairground Lighting Wiring Confusion

    I am under the impression most decorative lights used at fairgrounds are 24v. There is no earth, and that sign looks like it was wired, so it plugs into another sign at both ends and all on 3 channels. (So it can flash/sequence) Depending on what the fittings are and what you want the end...

    Wiring CCTV into fuse board

    Pictures of your cameras and their cables would help. As for can you connect them to existing 1.5 mm or 2.5mm cables, that depends on what these existing cables are doing now.

    Neff Oven not heating but element OK

    @sjw as has been said, changing parts at random and or guessing rarely works, and is often expensive. You really need specific help, to that amends I suggest you ask at the UK white goods forum Click here to go there where they work on white goods all day long.

    Can you check an automation components history?

    No thanks, but that leads to the question, who are you actually going to sell to, maybe do some research first?

    Can you check an automation components history?

    Just wondering. Who are you hoping to sell them to? and why is the person selling them, selling them?

    Can you check an automation components history?

    Just asking....................suppose you do buy them, what are you going to do with the stuff you don't want/need? And, if it is "automation parts" are they a very recent version/model?

    Recommend twin and earth tripping tool

    If you can squeeze your hand you may want to try a pair of Click me easy to use, and you can use it several times on the cable (instead of doing "cheese wire" all the way down) You can strip the cores too when needed. Oh, and it will strip flex.

    Switch Differences, L1,L2,L3,L4 to Common, L1,L2 ?

    Your "new" switch is a "2 way switch" The switch you have is called an "intermediate" switch, you need a new intermediate switch.

    karizma plus fault

    The suggested expander is only used to interpret what the iD biscuits are saying, so no, you would not need THAT expander if you re-wired it as required. As for changing the devices, that is up to you. If they are very old or damaged then yes change them, iD biscuits are not integral to 99% of...

    Tesco Maintenance Engineers

    I would look into getting a manual licence now, that way any questions/query you can say, "oh, its ok, I am doing my manual test in x weeks" More information about the test can be found if you Click me

    karizma plus fault

    iD biscuits were very clever for their time, you could literally daisy-chain up to 30 devices on one cable and the panel would recognise all iD biscuits, or you could star them, or a mixture of both. They ceased to be made in 2004. Yes you can get "modules" for some panels that will read and...

    255v - stopping ev charger

    Gentlemen, it looks very much like you will never agree on anything, arguing between yourselves does not help the OP with his question. Please bear this in mind, I don't like to use the delete button.

    Gloworm

    For 18p more, I would get Click me it's 5 times as long, and glow in the dark stuff is often just a gimmick, and the glow in the dark one needs to be held under a bright light for several minutes before it will even consider glowing
