Hi Guys
Bit of advice needed!!!!!!!!!!!
Was asked to do a job fitting LED downlights as the guy was fitting a false ceiling in the house he was doing up to rent out.
I normally use the Fire Rated short can type from LED Hut. I ordered the units along with 4.5w LED GU10 lamps.
On arrival he's...
This is the type.

These are the type of lights cut into the tiles on a grid ceiling.The lamp is recessed up into the fitting.
He's got loads of the 40w tubular flouresents that I'm removing the gear and replacing with 15w LED trays but hes asking can we just change the bulbs in the others.
I dont think they...
Hi Guys
I have seen a few convertors for lamp holders. Customer want to fit LED lamps in his care home. Most of the fittings have 26w 4 pin lamps
Does anyone know if you can get these to convert from 4 pin CFL lamps to standard lamp holders so as to fit LED lamps
Cheers

Hi,
Customer complaining that bulbs are blowing. Fitting is a 3 x spot with 60w R63 spots.
Tells me he was having problems previously so got the fitting changed and apparently has only had 3-6 mths use.
Fitting is only a cheap plastic type. As this fitting has recently blown 2 bulbs he asked me...
The R1 R2 test was carried out by shorting out at the pillar and taking the reading at the streetlighting column which there are only 2 on the circuit.Fisrt one is 30m from the pillar and the other is another 30m away.
In reply to a previous post the circuit is back up by a BS88 fuse in the...
We've even used 2 different testers so rules that out.
From the DNO cut out we've run a set of DI tails and earth into a main cut out which then feeds out to col 1 and then loops out to col 2
The swa is terminated into a gland which is attached to a brass glanding plate on the cut out.From that plate we run a 10mm to the earth terminal within the cut out out and also take a 10mm to a earth block,from there we run a 10mm to the col and then the door. Everything is bonded and...
Hi all.
After a bit of advice on this please. I work on streetlighting as my main job. We have a feeder pillar which basically feeds 2 streetlights
Ze at the Feeder Pillar is a PME system and was 0.30 ohmns. R1+R2 was measured as 0.86 so my total Zs will be 0.30+0.86. 1.16 ohmns.
As this job...

Hi I'm after a little advice on this .Is there a particular requirement that an emergency light has to be a maintained rather than non.
Reason being I did an ECIR last weekend and the 2 emergency lighting units werent working.Turns out the 8w lamps had gone,which I changed.
The guy said to me...
The main DB was this one which also fed 2 other boards elsewhere in the building.Both new boards have RCD's fitted.
The circuit in the main DB feeds 3 socket outlets without rcd protection.I don't know the exct reg but sure it says somewhere about sockets not under supervision should have rcd...
