I am making a lamp and I need to run the live, earth and neutral wires through a hole in 25mm mdf. The outer sheath is removed due to a switch.

What's happening?

Two lighting circuits covering various communal areas on two floors of a HMO.

What is the most popular outdoor wall or spike lights you install? What manufacturers? Typically use Knightsbridge's outdoor range but am interested to see what everyone else is using.
Also, what wireless controls do you use when customer asks for this?
Thanks in advance
Hello,

The house is a 1970's house so quite old with regard to the wiring, but I'm really curious what...
Hi, I need help to find an outdoor wall/step light. It needs to be surface mount but not wider then 70mm as they're to be mounted on the posts. It's to light up some very dark stairs at night for an old lady who's just had a hand rail built after a fall. I can't seem to find any that aren't...
Hi
My 4 bed 2 storey house was extended 2 years ago and completely re-wired, but I am having to upgrade the insulation and board out the loft myself.
In the loft the electricians clipped the new 1.0 mm wiring to the joists. There’s no ring, no JBs, it’s LED lighting only and all radial feed. No...
Hi forum,
A question about R1+R2 testing. I’m testing a lighting circuit. It’s an old circuit with old colours. In the control panel feeding the circuit there is no earth cable feeding the lighting circuit, only an earth cable bonding the control panel to the strands of the armoured cable...

I have a question for those who are well versed in electrical and lighting issues. In my neighborhood there is an elderly lady who, while she has a house, for financial reasons has no electricity supply. I would like to help her. Could someone suggest a led lighting system? It would be good to...
Hi all, This is my first post.
The other night It was noticed that one of the lights started to flicker. Both bulbs were changed the next day and the one that flickered still flickered.

Hello all! Newer house, original owner(Florida). no change to electrical system. Just found there was an outlet (GFCI) in the closet so I wanted to put a paper shredder in there but it didn't work because the GFCI was tripped. Would not reset so I changed it out, new GFCI will not set either. IN...

Hi Guys
