Hello you, Yes all well here, still plodding on intermittently with the re-wire :slap It has been a while since I was last here, the emoticons have improved! I wonder if many people choose to have bulkheads in their bathroom :o Hope business is going well for you :-)

You are a star, thank you - I had missed that site (as pro-QVS).

Hello all, Season's Greeetings! I'm not too early am I?! :C I am installing bulkhead lights (indoors). My older outside ones do not have heat resistant sleeving over the wires, but the new ones I have bought came with short lengths of sleeves (white braid-like things). Unfortunately the...

ROTFWL that made me laugh big time. Thank you!

Is that your pink fluffy slipper on the left?

Sometimes I feel like a right fairy, with hands tied, dancing on eggshells what with all these rules and regulations and acceptable practice. The other day I couldn't fit a grommet because otherwise the surface mounted back box would not be flush against the wall... so then I felt like a guilty...

How are the poor animals going to get any sleep?! X( ]:)

...after a few seconds delay... heh heh heh! :^O

That looks fun, I'd like to have lots of them! :^O Send a picture when you're done? Pray

I did consider whether to call them lamps or bulbs and I'm sticking with bulbs! Who wants a lamping?! ]:)

Just seen the pictures - that's AWFUL! I'd be well ashamed.

Hello all, I am pondering on these and wondered what your thoughts were: 1. Now that bulbs are in wattage as low as 8W, have you dropped your rule of thumb of 10/12 bulbs per lighting circuit and recalculated demand using the lower wattage instead of 100W per bulb? 2. Which bulb manufacturer...

?:| ? :| ?:| why put * under floorboards and not down the loo? ?:| ? :| ?:|

I thought that folding wires introduced a weakness and potential break point...

Indeed! And how did they get under the floorboards which were under the bed, in the first place!? ?:|
