If you’re installing some hanging lights any time soon, @lukesparky has shared a useful tip via our Instagram page:

‘When you’ve not got time to wait for the weight of the light to get the cables straight (ready for a photo finish), a little tip is to gently use a heat gun on the cables and this will help straighten them out!’

The treasures you can discover when clearing out the loft!

We love this find from Mark Sheen of WMQ Building Services:

‘Sorting out boxes that I had at my parents and found this blast from the past!

Scary to think I was first given this 13 years ago on my first day of college as an apprentice electrician with WMQ Building Services

Flicking through it brought back some good memories’

Time for another #caughtoncamera and this one has been sent in by Michael Smith:

‘The customer called me out to say that the grid switch had blown, and I was amazed to find it’s location (along with the socket) - this was at a property built in 2003’ 👀

Q. Why can’t I get detailed feedback on why I failed my AM2?

#caughtoncamera time and something to ponder from Boyd Goulden of @certon_limited :

‘EICRs are not all the same! The domestic PRS regs have definitely unearthed some dodgy electrical installations - two more boards from this lot too! Pricing per bedroom or per circuit + consumer unit? You decide…’

Thanks to @lukesparky for tagging us in on this bit of #wednesdaywisdom :

‘Dado trunking hack 👌 - it’s pretty simple but might help save a bit of time. When cutting the lid on the dado trunking (and you have multiple cuts the same length), I clamp something on the end of the chop saw to act as a stop so that all the cuts come out the same and you’re not constantly measuring and marking each piece. This helps when you have lots of accessories and you want the spacing between each point to be identical for a more professional finish’
