Chaos_99One of the spots I will have to spend either a lot of time or a lot of money on. #diy? #electrics #oldhouse
StefanoGaivotaThe not-immediately-intuitive representation of guitar electrics motivated me to portray them in terms I can more easily comprehend.
Andrew WalmsleyThe joys of replacing dimmer switches.
I learnt today the difference between trailing edge and dummy modules.
In my haste I've bought and fitted one with two trailing edge type modules, when one of the sets of lights are not meant for dimmer switches, (trailing edge type). 🤬🤦 #DIY #electrics

Thilo, EE 🤘🏼🇪🇺⚛🎗️Did I show this? Came across it when I was searching for my crimping tools.
It's an old BBC Goerz RCD tester.
Not much use these days, but it comes with a neat set of test wires.
Those were the reason to haggle a bit and buy it.
Going to clean it up and park it in the collection. The wires will go with my installation tester or maybe my Metratester 4.

Erik (OLD ACCOUNT)#electrics and #pcbuilding nerds!
We've got a window sill with slits over a radiator. I'd like to convert 4 cheap arse pc fans to go under and increase the air output. See images.
Which parts do I need to be able to connect 4 serially and power them with 230v via a wall socket?
Please treat me like a beginner in this kind of thing

GillingerCan anyone help me out with an electrical problem? I bought a new light fitting for the bedroom. The wiring instructions were straightforward, Live, Neutral and Earth. But the actual wiring involves two power cables on a ring main and I've buggered up somewhere.
If you can help please DM.
Thanks
piofthingsWell, second fix was completed and plugged in, no bang, pop or crackle! I now have additional lights and a better placed set of sockets! Hopefully no more extension cables sprawled all across the floor!
I also have an energy monitor plugged into the garage consumer unit! So I can tell how much electricity my power tools consume! #DIY #Workshop #electrics #redo

Light🐧⁂In my opinion self-adjusting wire strippers are the best for wire stripping, they can strip even the tinniest wires and are the easiest to use. I have a fairly generic one, there's no branding on it, at first when I saw it I was fairly sceptical because of it, plus it was dirt cheap compared to branded ones. I thought it can't be any good, but I was proven wrong after I bought it and tried it out afterward. 😁
Ian NeillCalled by a friend. Dodgy light switch tripping the RCD... I am "techy" - could I take a look?
Simple fix - new switch.
The old one was obviously faulty as the rocker was not rocking! I opened it to see why, and found the the terminals had arc-welded themselves together!
