great demo.
😊👏🏼
Great video! Great product
Thank you! 😊👌🏼
That Quickwire stuff looks amazing! ;)
🤣👌🏼💪🏼
Downlights are ugly as hell. Everything else is decent
Very helpful video. Why you don't release a video how to rewire a house or just the lighting. Thank you
Very good video 📹 from Phil and very explanatory.
Phil you need to teach your skills to the other chap. He always starts the video saying "we are going to" and then he goes missing 😅😅😅😅😅
🤣🤣 👍🏼
Do you guys have a link to the flex drill drive adapter please? Looked on your Amazon,but can’t find it? Thanks
Wt about checking for pipes or something like that between the joists ?
Recommended to use an endoscope inspection camera with light..
Nice video but can you show how to change from a rose pendant.
Anyone know what flexi drill bit hes using? 👍
👏🏼👏🏼
Great video guys 👏. Is there a limit to how many lights I can add to the chain? I am going to need 9 but don’t want to overload the circuit.
9 led down-lights will be fine on 1.5 cable 😊
@@homeimprovementsJim’s it is not an electrician, don’t encourage him. What you are doing should see you struck off any domestic installer scheme NICEIC or otherwise.
Where are you based? Can i pay you to install some spotlights in my livingroom with no access from above? Walsall
Brill
Much appreciated have a great day 🙌
What was the Flexi bit please?
Going to list it on our amazon 😊
Hello Guys,can you share a link for the magnet wires please.Thanks
Listed on our Amazon store 😊
@homeimprovements Thank you for the reply,Yes I found the link in the description.Cheers
On the T connector does is matter which side of the plug you put the loop in and loop out?
Yes it’s labeled 😊
@@homeimprovements on the t connector plug I can only see LEN on one side and NEL on the other, no other labels. I wasn’t sure if the power in from the previous light has to go in one side and power out in the other. Or if it doesn’t matter.
R1+R2 MWC?
You would do a R1 + R2 but because this isn’t a new circuit for this type of job a MWC isn’t required but obviously if it’s a rental / housing association it may be required for the tenant.
@@wesley3312 I thought a diyer touching their own electrics is illegal, as I keep getting told by every spark.I’m competent in changing a light fitting and probably know more about electrics than you average diyer but unfortunately I’m not allowed to do it for insurance purposes so I’m told 🤷♂️
@@kingofthetrowel1725 if you’re In a rental / housing association, or your home insurance requires you to have certification then yes, you would require someone who is competent to complete the works and to issue a MWC. It’s not illegal, but some works require signing off, the person needs to be a member of a competent person’s scheme, NAPIT for example, or the job needs to be notified to local area building control for it to be approved/ checked over.
Never that easy, you could have noggins or cross members in the joist between the lights, also those rods are not that flexible and getting them through the other drilled hole would be a nightmare
Great installation. But ugliest downlights I’ve ever seen. They look pregnant and cheap.
Why are you showing people how to install lights. Only a qualified electrician should be carrying out an alteration to an existing circuit. You are presenting your tutorial like you are teaching people with no idea. Liability disaster for your business and reputation.
