The link I added later is to John Cribb and sons who have them on their website they may be easier to check with if they have stock, I think it was about three years ago I fitted one.

Perhaps there is a highish resistance connection in the supply that means when the tumble dryer goes on the voltage drops momentarily and the PIR thinks the power is flicked on and off and goes to manual on?

Cooper lighting Menvier light fitting, that I am not sure they make any more, you will have to check, is a vandal resistant 2D bulkhead and the base has a space for a through conduit box to be mounted under it. A right nuisance to fit if you do not want the conduit fitting because there are all...

If you are only using two phases then the simplest thing for the supply company to do would be to change your tariff on the supply that is not for the storage heater to economy 7, however this may not be financially sensible for you if you do not use a significant proportion of your standard...

I think the hand operated cable clipper like a staple gun with u shaped insulated staples are generally found not to be worthwhile, there is risk of stapling through the cable and they do not have the power to staple anything other than wood, unlike the Hilti "guns". Possibly less dangerous but...

I hope the job turns out well for you and that your level of mental and physical ability do not start to fade too quickly!

There are a multiplicity of ways to wire a spur from the ring to a light.  Generally a switched spur as a switch fed light switch then on to the light is easiest for an outside light, but different circumstances may mean different choices. For outside cabling generally black cables have the...

If you are training there then you need to comply with their rules. Generally your notes are not permitted but tags highlighting folding corners etc should all be ok. So long as you are not adding information just making the existing easier to find. Some centres only like clean new regs so...

It is best to come off a lighting circuit if you can so that it is obvious that it is a light problem when there is a fault. There is no problem in fusing down from a ring and spurring off to a light, very often done on cheap and cheerful conservatories for the conservatory light to save taking...

On a link from the link you posted: SMTP server If you’re using a @virginmedia.com, @blueyonder.co.uk, @ntlworld.com, or @virgin.net email address but sending using a non-Virgin Media SMTP server, then your mail could potentially be seen as SPAM and either delivered to the recipients SPAM...

If you have been sending emails from the same email address day in and day out, perhaps even at the same times of day or in the late evening then the spam program on the receiving end may decide you are spamming them and block your email address. You would have to contact them to arrange...

I would really in this case stick to your original plan, perhaps labelling the meter as bonded at point of entry to the equipotential zone! Alternatively do as you planned and then fit a bonding clamp to the meter outlet and six inches of 10mm² and drill a 10mm deep hole in  the wall and poke...

From the HSE ACOP on the gas regs: Regulation 18(1)–(2) Any person who connects any installation pipework to a primary meter shall, in any case where equipotential bonding may be necessary, inform the responsible person that such bonding should be carried out by a competent person. Guidance...

Gas people will say it must be within 600mm of the meter because I think that is what their stuff says. If it is extraneous then I think you are describing the correct method, though you could bond both entries looped (continuously, of course)  between them. Gas will still think it is wrong...

Looks like it is probably two 2 way switches (why the first is two way I do not know) So if that were the case and based on the report you have of the terminal labelling the power comes into common (L2?) on the first (ON OFF) two way, goes out of possibly 4 and that loops over to common on the...

If you are absolutely certain that you have disconnected all loads that may be connected to the socket circuit, including odd ones like fused connection units for  boilers/heating, conservatory and outside lights and the like then you have a problem with the wiring of the circuit itself. This...

Hello and welcome.

Installing an earth wire is required by the wiring regulations at each point of use in the fixed wiring to ensure that for future changes there is always an earth present. Because your fittings are class II and do not require an earth it is not necessary to take the earth to the lamp holder...

On your first diagram the live supply was not connected to the light bulb; probably a key requirement of getting it to work. As you do not have a switch then the loop section is not required and permanent (once plugged in) live can be connected direct to the lampholder wires. You have done...

One into far left terminal and  one into far right. Brown is live and blue is neutral. Your method will not work. Follow the picture: Please ensure someone knowledgeable checks your work before you power this up as it could be extremely dangerous.
