    Wiring for ceiling spotlight

    By that I assume you mean flip the relevant switch off for the upstairs lighting circuit on my main board? I had already checked which switch to flick off. I have also had a look in the loft to see if I could change the connectors from the loft approach but they are not very accessible...

    Wiring for ceiling spotlight

    GU5.3 is that the right type for the pin connectors as opposed to the lugs as in newer LED spotlights? How do I replace the lamp holders once replaced? That is how do I get the spotlight unit out of the ceiling if that is what is required?

    WIFI powerline extenders

    I went for a Devolo dLAN550 duo+ starter kit. Arrived quickly from Amazon and set up was literally plug it in off you go. Both TV and Xbox now on a wired connection. However, having been plugged in for 10 minutes I can already hear my son complaining that his Xbox has crashed!
