    Connecting ceiling speakers to network amplifier

    Thank you for this but I need to provide an amplifier first for the ceiling speakers and then connect via wifi (bluetooth not enough distance) to my mobile to stream music and control the amplifier remotely.

    Connecting ceiling speakers to network amplifier

    For two plus years I have been pondering how to connect my fitted ceiling speakers to an amplifier that I connect to via wifi and then stream music from my mobile. To start with I am not going to go for multi room speakers just the main kitchen ones. The speaker cables go to my control room in...

    Trailing edge dimmers

    Yes, both makes of LEDs are dimmable. Don’t know the make of the dimmer. According to various Google searches when using LEDs the maximum output should be 10% of the dimmer rating ie 400w = 40 watts etc. Hence my thinking 17x 4.9w of 83.3w is too high.

    Trailing edge dimmers

    From new fitted with Osram 4.5w 2700k however, he suggested changing to Belns Melbs 4.9w 2700k which certainly don’t blow so often. Since day 1 we have had to keep the dimmer on full to stop the LEDs constantly flickering. Before one blews you get a flickering on the faulty one and then one or...

    Solaredge battery

    Just seen that Solaredge have announced new training courses for their installers that include powering from PV and battery when grid is down. I have been wanting this ever since my solaredge system was installed. Anyone know any more about this?

    Solaredge Battery

    One part of the question you answered that I don't understand is how the battery comes into play in the event of a grid outage. My supplier says this will not work which I don't understand.

    Using a 2kw inverter to power our gas combi boilers electrics.

    Thank you very clear. Fairly similar to what I wired up a long time ago for an oil boiler for the 1987 powercuts. I also wired in the heating pumps to the same circuit. You explanation has reminded me how I did this. Locked to prevent being resurrected (again)
