    Chestnuts.. They're Ready To Forage!

    Last weekend I went Chestnut picking. They are different to conkers. The outside of the casing is extremely prickly, where conkers are not https://www.wherewhywhen.com/how-can-i-tell-the-difference-between-a-chestnut-and-a-conker/ This is the time to fill carrier bags full of them. And they...

    G9 LED bulbs... they're all dim! What gives??

    Hi there! I just got my first two lamps that use G9 LED bulbs. Very frustratingly, it's almost impossible to find bulbs within my criteria, which I really didn't expect to be the case. I am looking specifically for 2700K warm white (i.e. very warm) and more than 5W. All I can seem to find are...

    This might be long so feel free to grab a brew. So, as some of you may know, i'm a 34 year old who has been dying to get into the industry.

    Electrician Jobs They're actually paying an 'electrician' for this

    Got sent this from a mate of mine working on the job concerned that the electricians first fix on a kitchen was a bit rough. Never seen anything like it me! thought it was a Pi$$ take at first :eek::eek:... (using the term electrician very loosely o_O) Thought I'd share with you all :)

    Why bother getting a gold card when they're giving away black ones.

    I think I've given up on our industry now. More dumbing down from the JIB.

    LED lights from dimmer flickering. Load is below dimmers minimum rating.

    Hello. So I've learned a lot about dimmers on this last job. The customer wanted everything downstairs on dimmers and boy has it been a learning curve. I've split a lighting circuit and the customer has asked for 2 x st64 led bulbs on pendants to be put on a dimmer. The problem is they're...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Stroma Worry - Don't bother, they're sound and normal and not just after you for your money!

    Just had my Stroma assessment. I just wanted to put all the guys minds at ease that are awaiting theirs. Went ok and I was pooing myself to say the least. (Who enjoys being interviewed about their job and knowledge) Had a guy called Gary who was very chilled and eased my nerves. Got a couple...

    Solar Planet

    Clicky dimmer

    I have an elderly client who has dimmers throughout his house. Most of them are I think are older and therefore as you turn them up and down they make a quiet clicking. He prefers these to the 2 new ones he has which are a smooth movement as he finds the smooth ones harder to control (easy to...

    Door bells

    Are any of the wireless ones to be recommended? All I've ever heard of them is negative, but a school I do work for needs one to cover one door and it would be the simplest solution. They have the usual entry system with comms and coded keys, but the need a bell/buzzer for one door. It's for an...

    Adding identifing ledgends to the Report Post and Multi-Quote icons.

    Is it possible to have identifying legends added to the 'Report Post' and 'Multi-Quote' icons as they are probably under used as currently displayed. Identifying the 'Report Post' icon in particular will hopefully have the beneficial effect of reducing the abuse posted by a minority of users...
