Today, I worked on updating the lighting at a local church in Whittlesey. We replaced the old lights with new, brighter, and more modern LED panels. The difference is remarkable—much brighter and more efficient!

We also installed four combined emergency fittings that will activate in the event of a power loss or emergency. This is part of an ongoing upgrade to enhance the church’s lighting system. More LED and emergency lights will be added soon.

Modernizing Old Downlights: A Successful Upgrade

VD Admin — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 16:18:00 +0000

Yesterday’s job involved upgrading outdated R85 downlights to a more modern style. While R85 downlights were popular in the 90s, they’re no longer in vogue, and my customer was having trouble finding compatible lamps. Additionally, some of the old downlights wouldn’t stay securely in the ceiling.

Modern downlights typically require a 70mm hole, whereas the old R85 fittings needed a 120mm hole. No problem—using conversion plates made the job straightforward.

The transformation looks fantastic, giving the space a contemporary feel. The new LED lights blend seamlessly into the ceiling and provide much brighter illumination. Another satisfied customer!

Emergency Callout: Fixing Unsafe Electrical Connections

VD Admin — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 16:18:00 +0000

Last night’s callout involved a tenant with only half of their lights working. After some testing, I had to squeeze through the loft hatch to investigate.

What I found was a poorly executed junction/extension of cables. It was clear that this was not done by a competent person: A) It should have been done with an appropriate junction box, and B) Extending the cable 200mm (8 inches) to the pendant fitting was unnecessary when it could have been done within a junction box.

Additionally, the amount of fuse wire used was inadequate—it wouldn’t have blown under fault conditions, as the cable melted before the fuse could act.

I installed the correct junction box, used a single piece of 5 amp fuse wire, and tested and re-energized the circuit. This was a close call—such issues can cause house fires.

Remember, electricity is dangerous, and it’s crucial to have a competent person handle electrical work. Stay safe and ensure all electrical tasks are done by professionals.
