    BEAMA Calls For EICRs To Be Done In UK Residential Buildings Every 5 Years

    Just another example of what you find every day

    Yes, it's those damn light fittings again! Really annoyed I didn't get a picture. Anyway, a mate asked me to look at a lighting problem in his house, where a switch put on 2 lights, and the other switch (2 gang) did nothing, whereas he wanted 1 switch to put on center light and one to put on...
