- If purchasing an antique light or a metal light fitting always ensure that a fully qualified electrician has tested to confirm the existence of an earth to prevent against shock.In the Westend of Glasgow, we have installed a lot of light fittings, some of the other fittins that may have been repurposed do not have earthing and if this is the case i would need to advise the home owner of this.
- Prevent against overheating in lighting transformers for low voltage fittings by ensuring cavity and loft insulation are kept well away from the fitting and from the transformer itself.
- To avoid flickering on low voltage down lights when dimmed check the overall rating of the lamps against the capacity of the dimmer for example if you have 8 x 50w lamps a 300w dimmer switch would burn out upgrade it to a 400w dimmer switch. If the total slightly exceeds the dimmer's capacity, use 35W lamps instead of 50W.
- If you have a socket underneath a or neath a washing maching or sink put this circuit on a 20 amp RCBO, to prevent all of your sockets being effected incase of mosture ingress.
- To prevent electrical showers burning out always pull the pull cord / 45amp switch to the off position.
- If you feel you do not have enuff sockets in your house, or you house has skirting sockets or are all single sockets in the rooms consult an electrician to test the installation it is more than likley over 25 years old and in todays world it can be hazardous as we consume so much electricity.
