@jamesifoster You ok!?

Todays find whilst installing an EV chargepoint. Fair to say it won’t be staying like this for much longer.

Happy New Year X peace for the world in 2024

@Andrew33080654 @dseselectric I’ll look into that. Hopefully I can program the dimmer so that you can’t fully lower them so then all stay on. Got 5 dimmer switches, one is that issue another is flickering when fully on. The other three are absolutely fine. All were fine for months when first installed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@dseselectric @ZorinElectrical Inductance on lamps. I’ve got the same problem on a e14 lamp at home. If I move lamp to a different lamp holder it stays on when switched off but all others are fine.

Fellow electricians. Help required on a Saturday. Four lights on a dimmer module. What would cause them to dim differently. Two completely down, two staying on?

Anyway less of the spotlight issues for now. This is that same wall. If Mikel could only see how good he looks hanging on this wall. He might be a little less angry this morning.

@dseselectric Standard click dimmer module controlling the same brand of lights of which have the lamp in built. The two lamps that are lit are the furthest from the switch so you would think they would be the duller ones. Think I need to get a better dimmer module

@ZorinElectrical It's a smart dimmer which means it's getting it's neutral via the lamps. That small control current will cause the lamp(s) with the lowest impedance to glow as the dimmer current passes through them. Better lamps or a compatible dimmer are needed.

@AmmoniteElectr1 All same type of lamps, inbuilt to fitting Standard click dimmer module in light switch, controlling them. Baffling!

@ZorinElectrical Different lamps? It’s one of the ‘pains’ of LEDs. As well as only installing quality dimmers such as V-Pro or Zano I always tell customers they need to ensure all lamps used are all the same, and if GU10 they stick to quality reliable ones..rare!

@MCBs_UK do you have any of these MK old style RCBO’s but 40amp please?

@Ceraunic @Monty_Electrics Imagine getting on the tram with your kids and suitcases in tow. What could possibly go wrong?

@Monty_Electrics Also nobody uses it. Not to the airport anyway.

Desk Grommets are perfect for kitchen cupboards.

We can add Captain Hook to kitchen fitters, plumbers, uncle of a friend, painters and NICEIC three day coursers of people now doing elektricks

@vitaelectrical Would have done a better job to be fair.

@ZorinElectrical The owners cat 🤣

Call out to a hot tub plug socket buzzing when switched on. Guess who did the plug?!

@METElectrical On the money!

New build Monday. Not quite sure how they’ve managed this. Surely harder than doing it properly.

Todays absolute beauty.

@CraigRWebster 100% or DIY Dave

@ZorinElectrical Kitchen fitters

Todays find!

@Monty_Electrics Probably exactly this, wasn’t loose, isolated and gave it the old tug test, a socket screw had been replaced with a wood screw too 😂
