    CEF Floodlights

    what voltage is the site, I am of the opinion many floodlights are specced too low, and given a few voltage spikes, it takes them down. Other issues I've encountered is KSR battens - the PCBs were specced at 30C so during a short heat wave.....

    LED Batten light

    I put some of these in an off grid stable block, wired via a little car fuse holder to a battery. Worked a treat...

    Extractor fan install is noifiable, plus more!!

    Like everything else these days, it could only be enforced by BC on new builds, or when the rose fertilizer hits the fan, when no doubt, the ' governing bodies' will make a big song and dance about it.

    Safety and Duty of Care

    Due diligence says they should, same as you would to see an MoT for a vehicle. People get the strange idea charities are exempt from such things, although chuch should not rent space unless thye can show it's safe.

    Fire rated emergency mini down lighter........

    the block is panel lights in the suspended ceiling, as in light weight foam type tiles on a metal grid. . Being around 10 years old, things will have moved on since it's construction. Sounds like your only option is to go back to the manufacturers, or get FO to do something useful.... What...

    Fire rated emergency mini down lighter........

    Right, so now we know what the real concerns are. I would think that is more to do with construction standards, and fire detection. A school I work in has a new build block with web joists, above suspended ceilings. All voids have fire detection in them, all electrical fittings are standard...

    High zs

    Weird stuff tends to be neutral issues, and cpc can be damp in walls - spent half a day once chasing CPC continuity before realising it was fresh plaster still being damp.

    Fire rated emergency mini down lighter........

    I have a lifetimes worth of experience in stating the bleeding obvious 🤣🤣🤣 Ok, more serious note, if the downlighters are designed not to set fire to whatever ceiling material they are fitted too, which could be anything from pvc facia boards to plasterboard to wood cladding, then why would...

    Installed ferrite cores onto the live and neutral cables making a buzzing noise?

    2+2=5, going slightly faint when standing up is a blood pressure issue. Nothing to do with EMI, otherwise National Grid workers on high voltage pylons would all be dead.

    Out of the shadows

    We have to be 'very determined' to get a GP appointment 😀. We are quite lucky to still have a NHS dentist.

    Wood is wood, so I'm not sure how much difference web v solid timber makes, if any?

    Installed ferrite cores onto the live and neutral cables making a buzzing noise?

    That's interesting. Any such things I've ever seen have both cables running through it, so can a single ring on a single cable actually make any difference?

    So, how do you get access to medical care? I take it it's all on the mainland?

    Or pass the buck onto the fan supplier, which is inflationary as their costs will go on the price of the products.

    Megger X1 vs Metrel Mi3152 XC

    I don't see why you need a new mft to test EV chargers, the functionality will be the same as your old test gear.l, unless I'm missing something?
