  • Join our electrician's mate and electrical apprentice, as we jump into the last episode of this series. The Artisan boys spent a couple of weeks away to carry out a huge electrical upgrade mile from home. Despite both not yet being fully qualified, Luke and Reuben share so great tips when taking on upgrades like this.

    Just a tip for that photocell on the back of the annex. I would install little Wiska adaptable box where that flex is going into the wall. With current setup you are allowing water to travel down the flex and into the wall. I have fitted some Philips hue outside lights to my house. There is no need for them to be on dusk switch cause this can be automated with the app. There is settings to come on at dawn and minutes before of after etc. Big up.

    Well done! No clickbait No funky thumbnail just a clear title which reflects the content and a nice normal image.
    Well done! I support this way
    Honestly I was waiting for your next video in order to decide if I will unsubscribe unfollow the channel or not
    Be simple, be normal, even if it might look like it’s boring, it’s not, for the long term these are the channels which grow organically
    Another unsolicited advice 😃 if I may, please LET GO of the emphasis on how bad is someone else’s work.
    With a little bit of humility we might discover that there someone else who does a better job than we do, and they could say the same about your work in 5-10-20years from now.
    With a little bit of humility we discover we know nothing about the circumstances of the previous work on that house.
    It is arrogance which criticises and points fingers etc
    It’s ok to say that a certain job is not according to the regs (as a fact, that is the truth) but it’s not ok when we use dramatic language to trash the previous electrician when we know absolutely nothing about his context.
    Jordan I really hope you are reading these comments, I’ve put a lot of time in them in the last few weeks when the clickbait drama almost took over your channel

    Little point , the socket Reuben had next to the spur, I would of recommended replacing the flex feeding the spur as it looked smaller then 2.5mm and is protected by the 32a mcb/rcbo and also grommets missing !!!

      Cable size not really a worry as you can apply 433.3 given the FCU is right next to the socket. The bigger issue is no outer sheath on the line conductor back from the FCU.

      I must admit l had observe the same issues, also l am assuming that the three core flex was being fed off the switched fused spur. If this is the case it would mean that the flex neutral is not being switched by the spur.

  • @imark7777777
    @imark7777777 Год назад

    I think those lights are designed for US electrical. We are required to have boxes in the wall for terminations. So all the wires remain in the box except for the 2 to 3 running out to the fixture. This also provides a mounting for the bracket that the light fixture attaches to. However we still have individuals who like to do their own lights and install them smack dab in the drywall (not electrically rated for fires). We are also required to have all junctions accessible usually buy a blank plate, fixture, outlet or switch... however DIYers/ "handyman" tend to bury them in the wall making finding fault a pain in the butt requiring cutting walls open.

    For the Hue outdoor lights, would have just used the sunset / sunrise and timer features built into the app. If you needed motion, the outdoor hue sensors work well too and last ages.

    hey, im sorry to criticise but if you title your vid tips and tricks than include some actual tips and tricks. also as an ex youtuber i advise you to put up a “sponsored video” marking on the start of the video, it can get you in to various legal trouble if this is not done. i dont mind watching just a plain video where you guys show off your work but this was a misleading long product ad. i dont appreciate being led like that. to be honest ive wouldve watched a video dedicated on testing new productline from a company bc im interested in that. maybe work on titles of vids a bit?
    wouldve been interesting to see how he actually fished out the negative from the wall for example. i encounter that problem a lot with working on boats that the walls are impossible sometimes to get through and i struggle a lot to run cables behind wooden walls bc of batons blocking the path or insulation being in the way. would greatly appreciate a video like that. maybe you guys know something i dont yet :) thanks for the content. loved the new line of lights. if i ever fit mains lights ill sure to look them up.
