    Home made thermostat for oil radiator help

    Running 1.5mm wire from 2.5mm ring for lighting

    Thanks for all the input lads. This job was completed safe and sound.    i now have another snag on this job i have purchased what i think to be 2x inline wifi switchs.    i thought to myself simply adding it in as a “break” in the circuit operated by the power going to my leds would do it...

    Running 1.5mm wire from 2.5mm ring for lighting

    For the record, i have the outer edge on its own “bank” or “daisy chain” as i call it (probably not the right term) and the inner bank of lights on its own too.. the dimmable aspect is purely for certain use, ide have it fully lit if its not in use so it looks nice, but sometimes its nice to...

    Running 1.5mm wire from 2.5mm ring for lighting

    the 2.5mm ring on 32amp breaker in circuit board is 100% a complete ring with zero spurs coming off. I done it myself. (In my man cave / garage) so in this case i just needed to know if it was safe and if it was, what was the best way to do it.    as i have read on these replys, im listening...

    Running 1.5mm wire from 2.5mm ring for lighting

    Running 1.5mm wire from 2.5mm ring for lighting

    Was only using 1.5mm because thats all i know of tbh.    always told 1.5mm for lighting and 2.5mm for sockets in general household electrics.    i think ill go for the 1.5mm only because i already have a huge reel of it.  so 1mm wore in future would be ok for LED spotlights? would it...
