One of 4 regular IP65 downlights fitted in a soffit all have failed. Currently integral units. Replace all with another integral version or a can with GU10. In the future the lamp is easier to change but perhaps more often? Thoughts?

So out of zone… and looks like fitting the kitchen put a rawlplug straight through the 6mm (before it was then cut off…)

So, you can join copper to aluminium to make it look good but a half decent insulation tester will out you fast.

Aluminium socket wiring, never seen so many testing failures in such a short time. Rewire needed. Whoever thought this was even a good idea

Great campaign from @Aico_Limited

Great info condensed in the same place

Water heated solar controls. Any advice? Working on a house which has solar water heating. This circulates when the solar temp is higher than the immersion tank, or should. The water temp is really high and the controller is dated with no manual. Ideally a replacement needed.

On holiday in Corfu. Only one thing is distracting me from this glorious view from the balcony. I just need a ladder and 15 minutes, done! 😎🤭

Interesting (long long) thread. It does make you wonder how things could change on Thursday.

Maybe the rats are clever and keeping away from conductive material wedged around the tails. Very odd, the choice of material, not the rats.

Why would you use steel wool in place of intumescent sealant?

I can’t make the installer show but if you’re going check out Tepeo - and their zeb

Pulling my hair out trying to set the dimmer for a v-pro, done it many times… then I remembered it was a Knightsbridge… duh!

Well. That simplified it. 🥴 https://t.co/fe57txEr03

Just added a comment to the amendment 3 DPC. I don’t like the new term ‘power flow’ (albeit probably correct in this concept). I can be a bit dim and generally need someone sensible like @jwflame to better (and simply) explain it rather than the IET.

So, thermostat not working…. I can now see why and also realise I need to sort all this shit out. Kitchen fitters! What a shit job.

Main switch RCD. Nuisance tripping caused by combined leakage. Could the RCD get close to tripping but a DC element saturates the coil and stops it. When DC leakage devices are turned off, saturation stops and RCD trips. So trips when turned something off not on. Sound plausible?

Another order placed with @pcproducts1 great products to make the rewire second fix easier.
