    Points earned for not swearing Delroy.

    I felt your pain when you couldn't get the fitting on, we've all done things like that!
    My goto bulkhead is the JCC Rapidfix, once you've fitted one, you would never go anywhere else! Can change it in 5 minutes!
    Good video Delroy, hopefully catch up soon!

    When you love your job so much you do it twice. We've all done it.

      With all that wiring in the ceiling void, I think I'd be worried

    I’ve used the first fitting at work. i’ve used a 20mm hole saw and longated a slot so the cover spins on 👍

    Sometimes we electricians think it's a small,tiny job,but turns out that sometimes small jobs get longer hours...😂

    Why not just make a cut out with your multitool, you'd hardly notice it and would have been a much faster option

  • @shodan2958
    @shodan2958 5 месяцев назад

    Been looking at your videos since I once considered becoming an electrician (Now IT) and I must say I can understand the frustration of the fixture not fitting but I think you've done an excellent job dealing with the issue and that light fixture should now last many years hopefully. Certainly would satisfy me at the end of the day.

    I once fitted a light on a ceiling I forgot about the cupboard door...funny

  • @steve11211
    @steve11211 5 месяцев назад +1

    That first light fitting is great, I use those but as soon as I saw conduit I thought oh no its not gunna screw on... JCC radialed are the solution as the white cover pushes on so you can make a cutout for the conduit and then push it on...

    • @eastwayelectrical
      @eastwayelectrical  5 месяцев назад +2

      Yeah 🤣I didn't notice until I tried to put the cover on, and I was so pleased with myself before that.

  • @soundlevel

    A Thorn Lara is my choice of bulkhead light fitting, perfect for almost all situations. It has a small flat spot on the side for a 20mm hole, it would have been perfect for your job.

    The only mistake you made was saying you have a nice easy job before you started.🤦‍♂️ You should only say that afterwards when you have finished 👍

    • @eastwayelectrical

      Sounds like someone who knows the trade, thanks for watching.

  • @kennethausten
    @kennethausten 5 месяцев назад

    I did that. Mounted the light too high and the cover would not go on. Was a freezing day as well. Had to redrill the fixings. I must add, it was at my home, not a customer. Still annoying.

    A pub that sells Tayto in London?! Sounds like somewhere I need to go :)

    • @eastwayelectrical
      @eastwayelectrical  5 месяцев назад +1

      In this pub there's no loud music only a piano. Apparently its packed whenever the Arsenal are at home.

  • @marcrufus5814
    @marcrufus5814 5 месяцев назад +1

    That was crying out for a short length of plastic pipe and a stop end box, you could have got the cover on then and fitted a blind grommet. Saved buying another new fitting.

    • @reeceoverton1421
      @reeceoverton1421 5 месяцев назад

      Yeah such an easy fix that

    • @marcrufus5814
      @marcrufus5814 5 месяцев назад

      If you struggle to cut 6” of plastic pipe and screw a stop end box to the wall I worry how you’d cope on a big job….

  • @lotuselise4432
    @lotuselise4432 5 месяцев назад

    I thought by going wrong meant that you had drank 8 pints of Guinness and went through a box of Tayto's and staggered home at 3 in the morn ;o)))))

  • @thenuttycreator4719
    @thenuttycreator4719 5 месяцев назад +1

    I’m not a sparky so this is probably a dumb question but why not cut a small hole so that the cover fits?

    • @tommochelsea72
      @tommochelsea72 5 месяцев назад +1

      The covers twist on with those lights.

    • @eastwayelectrical
      @eastwayelectrical  5 месяцев назад +3

      Fittings have to be installed properly, If it doesn't fit correctly get one that does.

      they've got their uses but never use them to prove circuits are dead

    • @steveb1856
      @steveb1856 5 месяцев назад +4

      Proves its live but doesn’t. Prove dead, but you might be if you rely on that!

    • @muzikman2008
      @muzikman2008 5 месяцев назад +4

      Useful for tracing cables. Never use to prove dead, even proving live can give false results sometimes. Always use a 2 pole tester and proving unit to prove dead.

      @truefoa 5 месяцев назад +1

      As above ☝and make sure you buy a decent one one, not the glowing screwdriver type.

    • @eastwayelectrical
      @eastwayelectrical  5 месяцев назад +3

      Funny thing I've never used it like that before. Once you know what you are doing its all good. Only do what you feel safe doing.
