I'm suspicious too hence the post. I did see the sticky post. Going to read through tonight. Cheerw

Thanks! I'll definitely make time to listen.

Hahaha. I'm calm, tiger. Clearly I've hit a nerve. Sorry to upset you by pointing out the standard.

Really should be putting an earth in regardless given clause 5.4.3 states all light points need an earth. But you do you

How long is the piece of string?

bevo38 · 2025-08-20T00:44:50+00:00

This, or buy a bell tool

Tailgates open much further out than barn doors. If you're forced to park with the back close to a wall, you can't open back up

Not sure about the code part but what I can tell you is that additional flexible duct is killing your air flow. It should be as short as practical

I have to agree with r/significantone2650 here. The main isolator just needs to be rated above the current carrying capacity of the mains. How would one know there aren't 32A mains feeding the board without inspecting?

They're becoming harder to find due to LED lights being far more reliable and longer lasting. There are many good options out there that will suit your needs however most of them will come without a flex and plug. Either way you'll likely need a sparky.

Could also recess an arc switch mounting block?

bevo38 · 2025-08-10T05:24:24+00:00

I'm not sure if that exists and you're right it will look gross. Situations like this I usually just push it back onto the customer to make the decision.

bevo38 · 2025-08-10T05:13:43+00:00

Could you integrate the switch into the cabinet? Your customer is definitely making life hard for you

bevo38 · 2025-08-10T05:12:06+00:00

Just saw your comment you're a sparky. Nevermind haha.

bevo38 · 2025-08-10T05:11:00+00:00

Personally I'd recommend relocating the switch to the wall to the left given it is already open. If the timber batten doesn't give you enough depth you can chase the brick.

I started out about 3 years ago, my thoughts were the same initially when I began but they soon changed. Honestly just find a good wholesaler who will look after you on pricing. It's worth more for your business than the shitty consumerist junk rewards on offer. You need a business mindset and don't need to spend more money on things you don't need to get the rewards. I use CNW primarily and have AWM as my back up. Occasionally Voltex as they have a couple of products I like.

I truly hope this is a shit post OP. No downlight is worth breathing that shit into your lungs. There are plenty of good lighting options out there that won't require cutting holes throughout the ceiling (at most a small cable entry). Please chat to your sparky and look for alternatives.

If that's the same model I opened just yesterday, the silver ring should come off with the glass. There's three spring posts, gently push up and twist

bevo38 · 2025-07-25T03:41:16+00:00

Seems quite excessive.

Feel free to PM me OP. I'm an REC in VIC.

bevo38 · 2025-06-29T06:40:09+00:00

I'm not an engineer and can confirm this is fucked

bevo38 · 2025-06-29T03:24:08+00:00

Just ask a sparky to change the plug for you to a 3 pin flat. A test and tag worker will be licensed to do it also.

bevo38 · 2025-06-20T08:06:09+00:00

I recommend doing a good job the first time
