    Hi All, My 1 and half Smeg cooker recently tripped when using the main fan oven. It was during quite a long period of cooking a roast. We reset the electrics and continued without issue. A few days later it happened again and now it does not get hot. The smaller oven still works. I assumed...

    Looks like a fluorescent, acts like a fluorescent.....

    ..... but where is the control gear? looking at the age of the fitting, the choke must be massive, but can’t figure out where it is? In between the ceiling and upper floor?? it’ll be coming down at some time, I was only in pricing the job.

    Please Can Someone Tell Me if the Wiring in My New House Looks Safe

    Hi everybody, I have no idea what constitutes safe wiring but I thought some of the stuff around my fuse box looks a bit suspicious. Any thoughts, help and advice would be much appreciated.

    Looks like the Chinese are back.........

    and the added security that the Mod's have installed for when you access the site has failed, must try harder springs to mind.

    Looks a squeeze, 240 swa thoughts.

    Have a 250kW motor with the terminal box in the photo. To me it looks a proper squeeze to bend in the conductors. Thoughts? Other options I can think of is allowing the use of SY on this cable only or parallel cables.

    Remote controlled light switch

    Could anyone recommend a remote controlled light switch? It must be able to dim and switch up to 320 watts,preferably not be too deep at the back and not cost a fortune.Also there is no neutral at the switch so it would have to be a live in and live out one. The ones i have looked at on Ebay...
