So the fittings MDTM recommended are good then? And tunnie bought something else?

Or have I misunderstood?
From what I remember of the original post I couldn't find anything wrong with Mark's original suggestion, however they didn't look the same "in the flesh" when I got to Tunnie's and it transpired that he had "had a result" (his words) when purchasing them.
I should have sussed then really, but I trusted him to follow instructions  ::)
And I thought you were clever ;D

I should have sensed how tight he was when he was stalling on making the initial obligatory cuppa when I first arrived ;D ;D

As your on at the moment AndyRoid.

I have to install 2 off 3 phase distribution boards (one off 12 way and one off 6 way), any specific makes to go for and any to avoid (these are a little low voltage and current to what I am used to working with so I have little experience of the good n bad out there).

Hager or Schneider Electric are two names that immediately spring to mind Mark

That's good thanks, Schneider were who I was erring towards given I have used their 'larger' products.  :y

No problem, just don't let Tunnie fulfil the purchase order  ;)

As you are fitting new, have you considered T8 LED's?

I've changed most of the bulbs in the house to LED now, bar the lounge and dining room (can't find a suitable LED - shame, as these 2 rooms are the ones we use the most, and the lights take about 90s to come up to brightness).

Not yet brave enough to try LED "tubes", so will stick to traditional for now.

I think they'd give the place a certain charm, a sort of Downton Abbey in Brackley

Isn't that set around here? Or is that one of the other pointless, crap BBC dramas?

Fittings arrived. Lacking the enthusiasm to open the box to see what they are like...

Went for 4 x 5' in the end. That should stop me fumbling in the dark.

Little bro coming up to assist* fitting at weekend :D
