Customer: "I think the last ELECTRICIAN made a mistake" 

Hi Nick. You seem to know your stuff I haven't got a clue thanks for watching

Some LED's are not dimmable .

This is excellent advice. Some of the best dimmer switches modules i have use is VPRO or Zano

Lagging*

@@eastwayelectrical If YOU haven't got "a clue" as to which LED's are dimmable, which aren't "and the difference between BRANDS of the same wattage of LED's, (which all react differntly to a dimmer) - then DO NOT DIM THEM, "period". Install a lower wattage LED circuit, on it's own switch. That way the client has the option of low wattage LED/s, or HIGHER wattage on the 2nd circuit, or HIGHEST with both circuits ON. It's that simple.

Hi Matt. All is well thanks hope we can put out some good content. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. It's something I've always done I like to explain what I'm doing if the customer is interested. I don't mind answering questions clients seem to appreciate it. There is the odd occasion where the customer can be a bit irrigating most are ok.

@@eastwayelectrical irrigating? thought water and electricity don't mix all that well

No, often it "empowers" the customer, to do MORE of the same, except now, they feel as though they have been "professionally eductated" - whereas it actually takes an APPRENTICESHIP of upwards of 8,000 hours of both practical (hands on) and theoretical (after hours school tertiary education AND PASING OF EXAMS) to reach the bare minimum to be able to request a full licence. Thereafter, it's an ALWAYS LEARNING TRADE, just to keep up with rules and regulation changes, especially in compliance with the various Electricity & work/safety regulations and parliamentary enactments (called ACTS). Just watching a reg sparkie "work fast talk/explining what they are doing, in layman's terms, is nothing short of unhelpful, to those who do NOT want to delve into home owner DIY (and rather stupid, actually - if YOU suspect the owner/property user, to have been doing all that "not quite right" home DIY before you got there, as all it does, is empowers THEM to do it (again) next time, especially after getting your JOB invoice statement .. of registered AND LEGAL remedial work - you did. AND, they can claim YOU DID IT, as "you" were the LAST OFFICIAL registered electrician to be at our near that installation,should they (the unlicenced owner/occupier) do something even worse next time, that kills THEM or someone else.. YOUR NAME is on file, as having been there (recently) to do the remedial work, which they (or their relatives) will claim - YOU didn't do properly, didn't find, or didn't deaden a circuit, when YOU should have. I never talk about what I am doing, but rather about anything else, except wha am doing. Nowadays, wear a bodycam , and record everything, and KEEP THAT in a safe, or safe place, for at least TEN YEARS.

Thanks for watching, thanks for you comments I try my best.

I love your videos Delroy , you explain everything so well , I trained as an auto electrician , but a few years ago at at nearly 60 I started a domestic electrical course I’ve got to level 3 but its got a bit expensive to carry on , I would love to I carry on but I’m semi retired now , would of loved to have worked with someone like you , great videos 😊

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching and your comments. You seem to know your stuff all the stuff you mentioned is way over my head.

I had a similar problem with a 24v picture light from IKEA that never fully turned off because their wireless remote only turns off the load side of the LED driver. In the end I kept the wireless remote for dimming and switch it with a Quinetic switch and plug receiver instead.

@@eastwayelectrical DO NOT TRADE as an "electrician" if all of THAT is away over your head, as all it does is "prove" that you yourself, are NOT qualified, as an electrician. As installing lights, of whatever flavour (LED, Halogen, Sodium Discharge, Argon Arc, or any other "type"), is one of the simplest wiring work operatives, that a corectly trained REGISTERED electrician is licenced to install (and maintain). SO for someone "trading as" an electrician, either you are, or you are NOT. Telling people porkies, of being a sparkie, when you are NOT, or of telling them you do NOT have a clue about how LED's operate, instantly tells the rest of us "registered" tradies, wait up - you are NOT qualified to "work" even as a maintenance electrician, if you DO NOT HAVE A CLUE, about the modern LED lights..

Putting a halogen lamp on the load side as well as the LEDs will have the same effect. With the resistor, it needs to be ceramic to stand the heat that it will radiate. Also something to be mindful of if hiding it in the back box as it won't have free air circulation to shed the heat easily. You want to be careful not to have too low a value so it isn't overloading the dimmer (and wasting power).

@@timbo19 Thanks for the advice.

Hi Dennis Danke fürs zuschauen.

Thanks for watching.

HI Alan. I think the installation of the original drivers and switch's wasn't done very well also I thought it was a bit elaborate. Thanks for watching

Hi Riley. Thanks for watching hope your Apprenticeship is going well.

@@eastwayelectrical hi mate, yea it's going well thanks

That's just terrible! I've seen other tradesmen on RU-vid that have also said that their tools have been stolen from their vehicles. This stupid, incompetent government and toothless police force don't do anything about it, and so it's become an epidemic affecting the livelihoods of hard working citizens. Sorry to hear you went through that...

And cash converters will buy and sell it for you... So government will get a cut lol

Thanks for watching

Have you found such a software?

got his tools done, he forgot to bring them inside and they did his van

@@ChristmasCrustacean1 Just disgusting that shit like this happens so often.

Thank for watching.

The Job is done those driver are redundant the lights are controlled by the new dimmers.

@@eastwayelectrical you said there was a driver controlling the kitchen surface lights and these were flickering and not dimming properly.

Yeah just think he forgot about the driver on the top of the cupboard

I bet those kitchen lights were still flickering as they were a mix of LED and halogen bulbs. It definitely wasn’t working properly though, I suspect the client will either be calling you back or calling someone else to try and get those sorted for the third time.

@@justanotherdave.you should not use LED and halogen on the same circuit.

cherry pick jobs eh most cant be choosey

Good job some people can adapt and overcome situations…

Thank you hopefully we ca upload some good content.
