The wall lights look great 👍

@rjkelectrical6086 Год назад

Lovely neat job! Looks awesome

@skyemac8 Год назад

With Google and Apple, you can give verbal prompts to control all those lights with the Hue Hub and develop zone control too. Works great at home here. Nice job on that house btw!

@Viewer765 Год назад

If you have old oversized downlights 13.5cm hole but need fire rated for flat what options do you have for hue bulbs

@rodniccomagtabog1298 3 дня назад

Did you need a 3 cable coffin box for the downlight? The box that comes with the down lights only accommodates 2 cables. Also, what do you call the spring holder for the down light? I got a damaged one and need to have it replaced, is that available in the market?

@Ste2023 Год назад

@m101ist 2 месяца назад

What's a studbuddy, what is it for? and how to use it?

@davel5845 Год назад

In short yes if you have good roof/ceiling/ wall access and competent tradesmen. No if any one or all of those conditions are missing. Remember we’re talking easy not impossible. Impossible takes longer, sometimes a whole day. 😉

@RylanceStreet Год назад

Are you allowed to run a cable through a notch in the stud, and then just replace the plasterboard with no protection against nails?

@efixx Год назад

Yes if the circuit is protected by an RCD

@ctspeck 5 месяцев назад

what downlight fixture did he use?

@GavinLawrence747 Год назад

What was done with the insulation around the downlights, because that model of downlight didn't look to include the insulation guard?

@efixx Год назад

The insulation guard clips in place behind the downlight.

@GavinLawrence747 Год назад

@@efixx you must be using an aftermarket insulation guard? because all the evos that i've ever seen are integrated and are one piece. Its an important point, because you don't want insulation in contact with the lamps!

@shaziman1 Год назад

Loving the use of the mouth as part of the installation! A wise man one said, water and electricity don't mix...

@rsmckgla Год назад

What's your view on light switches with hue (or indeed any other similar technology) installations? Having traditional light switches present alongside things like Hue Tap or the "Friends of Hue" switches like the GIRA range looks odd and a lot of people (visitors) will instinctively use the 'wrong' switch. If installing for Hue from scratch Is it acceptable, or even preferable, to omit the light switch entirely in such installations now? ( you could say the same for two way switching using Quinetic or similar switches - is there even a need to have one traditional switch? )

@hawk_ness Год назад

Take a look at the Shelly switches. You can wire the existing switch into it and it will override the status. I have retrofitted a number of my "dumb" lights with them and its amazing! Only £15 too. You can also get ones with power monitoring!

@efixx Год назад

I’ve had Rako wireless switches at home for over 10 years - I didn’t install any switch wires. *Gordon

@rsmckgla Год назад

@@efixx thanks. What would you say to an electrician who says it's "wrong" ;) ... I challenged him to go away and come back with something in BS7671 that says lights need switches (after all, many commercial buildings don't and have systems like DALI or 0-10v dimmers that are centralised) :)

@rsmckgla Год назад

@@hawk_ness I don't want the actual redundant switches though - it looks awful. With wireless switching technology and/or smart lights in a *new* construction I wouldn't bother running switch wires at all - but this is viewed as 'odd' by more than one person I've spoken to!

@hawk_ness Год назад

@@rsmckgla I would say its more a back up should the worst happen and theres no internet or wifi or whatever smart speaker you wanted to use is down.

@huyongquan6554 Год назад

Noticed twice the fire alarms are not 300mm away from the lights installed.

@efixx Год назад

In that hallway you have to make a choice 300mm from the wall - on three sides or closer to the light fitting. This was designed by the house builder.

@bartman58 Год назад

There wasn't much choice.....just use common sense

@huyongquan6554 Год назад

There are still choices for replace with small lights. Another thing is does British standard confirm the compromise with reality? That is why we shall keep as higher standard as possible when publish video for electrical work.

@rowles13 Год назад

Not a regulation.... Just an advisory

@rodgerq Год назад

Are the downlights controllable with the smart button options as well?

@efixx Год назад

Yes if you want them to be.

@rodgerq Год назад

Nice one cheers.

@andysims4906 Год назад

Those Down lights don’t look fire rated to me . ( depends where you install them). Also the fact that they take GU10 lamps you should always make sure there is a large air gap or bridge under the fibreglass just incase someone on the off chance fits a old style 50W GU10 bulb. Unlikely but possible

@efixx Год назад

They are fire rated - integral-led.com/en/catalog/node/evofire

@GavinLawrence747 Год назад

@@efixx Why didn't he not use the evo with the insulation guard ? What was done with the insulation around those lights, because you can't put the insulation directly over the model he used as far as i'm aware.

@niceguy235uk1 Год назад

You shouldn't use the disc of plasterboard you cut out for the repair. Use a new piece as this will allow room for fine fill to be applied and sanded flush.

@hawk_ness Год назад

Philps EWW. Theres MANY better and cheaper products on the market than Philps junk. You have brands like Shelly, Switch Bot etc that are so so much nicer to work with, more responsive and in the case of the Shelly items doesnt need to call home to work if you didn't want it to. Also Philps are known to quietly kill their older products or just make them unreliable. Just your classic over priced consumer junk. Avoid!

@efixx Год назад

Switch bot, Shelly etc - range is limited to lamps and controls they don’t make lighting fixtures.

@Dog-whisperer7494 Год назад

Great job shame the lights are stupid colour change , ok in a brothel and Philips aren’t even a British company anymore so more over priced rubbish being pushed onto the British market . Gordon said it’s a five star hotel treatment, if I booked into a hotel and the room light was like them I would demand a refund and book into a different hotel. But fair play to the spark he’s done a good job. But who am I to argue i’am not allowed to have an opinion i’am just a humble spark who’s opinion means nothing.

@efixx Год назад

Philips have never been a British Company - founded in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and HQ is still their. The holding company is now called Signify after they split the business .
