Hello,
I wonder if anybody can help. I have leaking water from spout on sink which I understand is mono bloc when either cold or hot water is opened.
I can see a o ring which looks broken but unable to see how to take-off spout to replace o rings.
Please can anybody suggest what needs to be done.
Many thanks,
Tantan

I'm hoping people can help me make sense of a light switch I've encountered during the renovation of our living room.
There are two sets of two lights, such that two lights are switched with one switch; the other two are switched with the second switch. Each light set is controlled by two switches, one outside the room, the other inside the room.
The secondary switch is straightforward arrangement, it is joined to the primary ...

Hi I have a single plug wall socket I no longer need, and want to replace it with a light fitting. The socket is fed by a standard 3 core flex (live neutral and earth), and the light fitting (3 spots on a plate) has a connector block with connections for live, neutral and earth. My plan is to connect an additional length of cable to the old socket feed and run it up the ...

Post subject: American lamp fitting Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 9:01 pm |

Hi all,
I bought some photography from a well know internet auction site, the lights that were included have american plugs.
The light fitting says 250v 660w, there is a safety label that says a maximm of 500w and the cable says 300v 105degrees.
I know usually that american equipment is 120v so would i just be able to stick a uk plug on to this as long as im using uk bulbs???

Hi All.
Please could you help me to understand what is wrong with my kitchen light? The other night there was a loud bang and the electrics all went out. We switched them back on and the light in the kitchen was kaput. We have replaced the tubes and checked the wall switch and nada. We can't see where the ballast is. It is a 1.8 metre crompton fitting from the 90s at a guess. ...

Hi, I am looking at purchasing the following light switches from this link... http://bit.ly/L3fAX3Basically I would have one at top and bottom of the stairs each with the 2 switches. The one downstairs would control hallway light, and upstairs light, the one upstairs would control the upstairs light and the lights in the loft. Would this switch work for this task> Cheers

I've just put downlights in my hallway, which I have installed the downlights in the loft. I currently have 200mm loft insulation and am planning to topup to 300mm. For now I have rolled back all the insulation away from the downlights for safety while I sort out what is the safest way the place back the insulation. I've seen some downlight guards to place over the downlight that are approx 150mm deep so I ...
