Have you checked how many wires are at the light fitting? there could be several if the supply is looped in and out at the light. You don't actually say what symptoms are with the light? e.g. Not working at all, Stays on all the time, Only works in certain switch permutations.  That drawing is...

I may be wrong but historically the rule of thumb used to be a person doing physical door knocking, asking face to face for work, was considered to be more likely to pull their weight and get stuck into a job, compared to an anonymous letter writer, expecting a prospective employer to contact...

Whilst 6" may be preferable, most domestic kitchen extractor hood only have 4" duct coming out the back. Doc H.

You would probably benefit from reading up on the relevant building regulation topics to get an idea of what solutions you can offer a customer. Such as the approved documents; https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/approved-documents    And other various LABC publications e.g. ...

Various terms 'Live', 'Phase', 'Line' have been used to describe what you call 'hot'. general the average UK person would call it Live. As ProDave said unless the switches were also replaced then that wiring should be correct. If not you do need an understanding of how the wiring should be...

This is a UK forum and I assume by your use of the terms hot wire & 220v circuit you are not UK based?  Your apparent 'strange' voltages are because I would guess you are not actually using any fixed 0v reference point, (earth or neutral) to measure from. Dependent upon the physical switch...

Although the concept of doing unpaid work theoretically sounds like it should help someone, in the world of electrical installation it often doesn't work out, especially if you are trying to get some hands-on experience. e.g. If it were just using a wheelbarrow to transport earth from a trench...

That looks very much like a 12volt connector to me.  the other end of that wire will be the elusive transformer or driver converting the 230v mains supply. It will be the 230v cables you need to supply the GU10's with an appropriate enclosure & connectors. Doc H.

Or could it be that certain other appliances, accessories are in use when the building is busy, inducing voltages onto the fire alarm system or affecting the power supply to the panel. But not in use when the pub is quiet? e.g. An overheating faulty cable joint on a circuit may cause strange...

I think you have already answered your own question. Qualifications without experience don't count for much if employers are looking for staff who can work alone without supervision. Any person who chooses to leave an existing employer without a new job to move into, would general be considered...

I am confident every forum member could see that, even whilst sitting in their shed at the bottom of the garden! I sense a forum competition on the horizon; The best phone camera image of the Rev's fence camera taken from your bathroom or second bedroom window. (Front door images not...

Ditto! Doc H.

Are there any historic reasons that may justify your stressing about work related issues? e.g. Have you made a mistake in the past that has had a significant impact upon you, your employer, or a customer? If yes then a reduced self belief is understandable, (i.e. you now more frequently see the...

Welcome to the forum, I have removed your phone number, as its not normally sensible to broadcast personal contact details on a public forum, unless you are willing to be bombarded with spam messages/calls.  Obviously if you are happy with this risk you can add it back on again to another post. ...

That would have been my preference as well. MR16 push connection pins are a pain in the rear. Unless there is a specific requirement for 12v fittings, (e.g. bathroom zones), I cannot see why anyone would (a) keep extra links in a circuit that can introduce additional faults,  or (b) have...

All fixed appliances should have some form of local, accessible isolation. As 99.9% of appliance instructions typically say you should turn the power off, during routine maintenance & cleaning. Do you know who fitted the kitchen? As it is worth remembering that builders and kitchen fitters...

Absolutely!  If you monitor any of the various social media neighbourhood platforms, (facebook, nextdoor), or youtube etc, barely a day goes by where someone isn't posting a video of some suspicious activity around their property, or on their commute to/from work. And as you say the Police seem...

If you have concerns about this "(new)" consumer unit, I would be addressing them to the electrician who installed, tested, certified, (and notified for Part-P if located in appropriate parts of UK), the work.  The electrical certificate will state the earthing arrangements, typically page 2 of...

Not much difference to the current trend of automatic doorbells etc. that pick up all sorts of people in the road and pavement on the front of a property. Not to mention all the dash-cams picking up all sorts of third party activity.  As Murdoch says you cannot pry or spy directly onto another...

Or just C02 compressed gas canisters used for pumping up bicycle tyres.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Impeccable-Culinary-Objects-ICO-Cartridges/dp/B00U6AI2H2/ref=cts_sp_1_vtp Used with a little regulator bit that fits onto the tyre...
