Re: Room Thermostat Wiring

I have a tubular heater (no temperature control) that I want to use in my cellar but want to control it through the thermostat above so it only comes on when the temperature drops. In short, it's a very basic setup in tha...

The 230V supply comes into light one (which works) and the cable then extends off to light two - I'm assuming this though because the cables are buried beneath the plaster. On testing the voltage at light two it's only registering about half, approx...

Grid Neon Light Wiring

I bought a grid neon light so that I can see if I've left the lights on in my cellar.

I got it to work by connecting the terminals to a live and neutral feed but I am curious as to why the two terminals are marked L1 and L2 - why not L and N?

Liner Below Loft Insulation in Victorian Semi

Hello fellow DIY-ers, I recently moved into a Victorian semi which has no loft insulation, so obviously that's going to be one of my first DIY projects! However, the ceilings in some of the bedrooms below are starting to show their age and I'll probably want to have them taken down and replaced some...
