Dave and I continue with our job in central London putting in a second fuseboard. We had the Bosch radio one site to entertain us a little, but sadly the aerial on there is crap. Also doing a bit more work on the extension of a customer's house from a few videos back. I took some time to mentor Dave on how to organise his tool bag ... really!

@mitchellmnr 4 года назад

I always do that to my clients. if the client agrees to your initial price then no issues. When they whine you're more than likely going to have issues later (literally same prognosis as tom)

@hermand 5 лет назад

Ref the pricing - I'm self employed, but in IT and it's exactly the same. I've worked for huge financial firms who won't blink at a good rate and they're all great projects, easy to get on with etc. I've also worked with some cheap customers and they're a nightmare every single time. You're absolutely bang on

Aurora ENLITE can, and OSRAM 3000K lamp. This can not be beaten. Trust me.

@darenvitaelectrical5310 5 лет назад

voltare2amstereo ,sorry chaps I disagree i find the gu10 leds pretty poor , if you fit a decent led like enlite e8 they have a 3 year guarantee ,are quicker to connect and fit ,have a 60 degree spread as opposed to 38 degree gu 10 so less fittings needed and they will have a long life span in domestic situations ,just my preference

@sparky9282 5 лет назад

@@darenvitaelectrical5310 I agree the lights are generally better, but I've had a few fail in under a year and I've had to replace at my cost. Atleast if it's a lamp the customer can normally replace them their self

@simonpoole1492 5 лет назад

@@darenvitaelectrical5310 60 degree spread guarantees GLARE from everywhere in a room. The point of downlights is the opposite of this. Besides, why would you fit a light that will definitely need changing in a few years?

I bought one of those beep if electric pen things. Green one from Wickes. Total guess work,beeps at everything and nothing, even tried RTFM!still nfg, was removing a bricked up extractor fan wire dissapears into solid plaster toward celing.ended up isolating everything fitting a lamp pendant and the seeing if it lit up. It did. Glad to see the expensive version makes little difference. Thank you for finding that out and sharing with us.

@alanmutlow5854 5 лет назад

For me it still doesn’t make sense to install a unit that if it fails you have to replace the whole thing. Normally ruining the plaster board around it with the springs and getting grubby finger prints on new paint. Cans and LED bulbs all the way!

@andywarrington4738 5 лет назад

I agree about leds , they aren't all they are hyped up to be and it seems that the blue white ones may have issues with peoples eyes , like the car led lights , really bad and blinding , further studies are being carried out in the U.S.

@anthonyglynn803 5 лет назад

You're absolutely right. Most customers that ask for a better price are problems when it comes to payment.

@ZG0002 5 лет назад

Totally agree, I only fit the GU10 with a decent LED lamp. Takes moments to replace the lamp if required. Don't see the point in the enclosed units, always a risk of damaging the ceiling when pulling them out to replace also.

@M0XXQ 5 лет назад

Tom, nerdy info: The radio is banjaxed because of the noisy switched mode supply in the charger, try putting a common mode choke in the DC lead from the charger output, use one of those ferrite clamps you see on computer cables and wind a few turns of the charger DC output around the clamp and see if that cleans off some of the noise, failing that throw the charger in the bin! :D

@ARElectrics 5 лет назад

Another great video 👍🏼 I agree on the can down lights you can put your own lamp in and when it goes it's easily replaced by the user. However I have been fitting 100s of green brook LED fittings and have only had 1 faulty fitting in 3 years of using them, either that or the customer dont call me when they go ! I have moved onto JCC V50 downlights so far so good. Have been fitting those for the last 3months and have had roughly 100-150 of them fitted and not 1 faulty, yet. Fingers crossed. I think a good quality fitting is worth it and not to buy cheap. Buy cheap buy twice they say !

They are completely unpredictable - here in the states, cheap chinese switched-mode power supplies in LED conversion kits for T8 flourescents cause tons of harm.... good luck!

@brian9731 5 лет назад

I work for a security integrator and have done for many years. I'm a techie and not really a businessman and prefer steady money. When I first started in the industry back in the mid 90s, I was self employed and trying to do quality work but because I was new to the business I wasn't all that fast. I had a customer who was a builder. He had some finished houses which I fitted alarms in and he paid me straight away. Then he wanted me to do more work for which he tried to screw me down on price, said the sparks would first fix, wanted to supply the parts which would've been cheap and nasty and of course that would've denied me my parts mark-up. Meanwhile, I happened to meet one of his plumbers whom he owed £9000. As I was hand to mouth at that point, I decided not to do more work for the guy before he sent me under.

@sosurko 5 лет назад

I agree with not changing prices. It de values your service and your skills that have taken time to acquire. I related it to a customer when they asked for 40% off the bill as would you take a 40% wage cut as of tomorrow. Funnily they wouldn't. Still had me so the work too.

@AttilaSVK 5 лет назад

I'm not surprised about that radio. I've got a TechniSat DigitRadio 210 FM/DAB+ radio, which works absolutely fine on batteries, but refuses to tune any station when it's plugged in. The cause of the problem is the absolutely horrible switchmode power supply which came with it. I use it with an old Sony linear PSU, and the reception is almost as good as on batteries.

@bigjd2k 5 лет назад

That charger is chucking out noise, either conducted down the cable or radiated. It’s an EMC problem - either the charger is too noisy or the radio is too susceptible to the noise. Is it the original charger (aftermarket ones are usually really bad)?

@UberAlphaSirus 5 лет назад

Get spade bits with the screw on the end. You don't have to push untill the last 5mm as they draw themselves in. Irwin i think do ones that are nail resistant to a degree, but screws are hardend. It's easy to touch up a spade bit with a file or angle grinder, takes seconds and doesn't have to be anywhere close to perfect.

@Marcel_Germann 5 лет назад

Personally I don't trust such non-contact voltage testers, and I don't trust the single pole testers which are shaped like a screwdriver with a neon indicator inside. 2-pole is the best way to go, no matter if it's a Benning Duspol, most common tester here in Germany, that's the reason all those testers are called "Duspol" here even if they're made by another company, or the Fluke T-series (T110, T130 or T150). Megger also makes one (TPT320), but I wouldn't recommend theirs because it lacks a load connection. The Fluke (T110,T130 and 150) and Duspol models (Expert, Analog, Digital) have that. If you do a test between line and ground and push the load connection buttons the RCD in the circuit should trip, of course that's not a complete test, more of "Hello? Anybody out there?". They can also indicate the direction of a rotating field in a three-phase installation.

@ckm-mkc 5 лет назад

@@thomasnagy AvE got a lot of shit for it as not all his conclusions/assumptions were correct. There are a lot of crappy meters out there, but Fluke is not one of them.
