Great video. Can't wait to see what you're going to do to James 😆😆😆

[@JezCunningham]

Love the pre-blown fuses! When I was an apprentice (electronic engineer, working in a broadcast transmitter design lab) we had a big die-cast aluminium box covered with all different size/shape fuseholders. Also a big red button and two lamps, one red, one green. Inside was a dc power supply, a stonking great capacitor, and a latching relay. You put in the fuse to be tested and pressed the button and one of the lights would come on. If the fuse was dead, the red lamp came on "Fuse was blown". If the fuse was ok, the relay latched, the capacitor discharged across the fuse, and the green light came on "Fuse was good".

[@1001ewaste]

That'll be back in the good old days when you could actually knock together and use your own gadgets and equipment to make your life easier how times change.

[@CoolerQ]

...but then the fuse would be blown, no?

[@PAULEYBOY70]

top tier content mate. loving it

[@TYLERCONSTRUCTION]

Yes, welcome to Southend 😂

[@justinmiller7841]

I’m enjoying the different perspectives 😊

[@josephking6515]

Adding this comment for the algorithm. Nice of the guys that lent you the column dropper to give you the tip about how not to use it on a _ball breaking_ job.

[@Richardincancale]

6:20 Except Dubai lamps. Specifically designed to run at about 1/4 the rated current per LED, so last indefinitely for marginally more cost. Only available in Dubai because the government mandated it, otherwise lamp manufacturers prefer to have the repeat trade.

[@dadawoodslife]

BigClive did a video on them. Also on altering other lamps to extend their life.

[@tncorgi92]

I remember Big Clive showing us those.

[@DiyintheGhetto]

I love your new crew. Uses make a perfect team lol keep more coming please daddy. 😂

[@AndyK.1]

[@DiyintheGhetto]

@@AndyK.1 True

[@OliverTurnerMSc]

The issue with most LEDs dying is that they get run with too much power going through them and heat kills them. If they were run at a lower power and temperature, they'd last ten times as long but then the manufacturers would make less money so....

[@acelectricalsecurity]

Apparently not just the heat, the NIC guy told me they are rated for 230v and we are supplying them with 240v or more hence their life is shortened

[@Russwig]

And often it is the power supply (AC to DC) that fails, not the actual LED chips.

[@SwordQuake2]

That's why Dubai lights were created but they aren't sold anywhere else...

[@farmersteve129]

Not entirely accurate.... equipment supplied for domestic use in the UK is required to operate correctly on 230V +10%/-6% giving a range of 216 - 253V & any marketing specifications are supposed to be based on that. There are three key reasons (all related to cost) why the LEDs fail, firstly the LEDs themselves are driven to their limit to get the maximum lumens from the least amount of LEDs - this invariably leads to early life failure. The second part is that a lot of units do not have constant current drivers, rather they rely on crude techniques - often just a capacitive dropper, which do not regulate the current at all, which means that excess current will flow. The third reason is that every possible corner is cut in the manufacturing process, so for example the absolute minimum solder is used & low quality components - often counterfeit or copy parts. Saving a couple of pence per unit might not sound much, but if a factory is pumping out millions of units per year....

[@Thats_Mr_Random_Person_to_you]

@@Russwig yh, the actual LED can easily last the quoted 50,000hrs.... but the cheap, under-rated, densely packaged electrolytic output filter capacitor... not so much!!! Don't want to sound all tin hat conspiracy theory... but companies don't make any money for products that last years and years....... so there is little desire to do things properly.

[@ryano8768]

Should ask Jay to get some 8mm twin and earth too 🤣

[@thomasnagy]

[@barryturner1146]

Lol

[@OldManGamer1985]

Genuine question? could you wire a whole house with flex? no twin and earth etc at all ?or is there some reg that says you cant ? cheers

[@jonathanInLondonUK]

I had a purpose built flat in a block built in 1970 and all the wiring was in hi-tuf.

[@lewis94uk]

The regs are not clear on it look at 521.9 "Flex Only to be used where relevant provisions of the regs are met". Goes on to say if flex is used it shall be of the heavy duty type.

[@loocstac]

Working at Southend Central, I miss rail work, some of the best laughs. You can get a small hydraulic version for those columns, wait until you do the slightly bigger ones where you need the hydraulic version. There are some massive 30mtr ish columns at Shoeburyness depot that drop down, that needs some big gear!

[@Camberwell86]

"Beer, crisps, peanuts" I'm on the wagon though lmao 😦 😢

[@djdigit6869]

Where did you buy the radio from the one your using in the van at 25:48 ?

[@leohogg1]

Any need to use ferrules when terminating flex?

[@sterlingarcher46]

Tom , you can order your missing parts from your wholesaler , order a pickup from a traditional courier same day delivery company a give them the order number . They dispatch a motorbike or cycle courier to pick it up for you and deliver to your job site . Most even have a premium delivery within the hour or even half an hour depending on the distance from the wholesaler . When you factor in the time it takes you to leave the job site , lose your parking spot , sit in traffic, pick-up your parts and come back , look for another parking spot etc , it's well worth the money to pay for a courier . Especially knowing that while you're waiting for your delivery, you can keep working and avoid disrupting your work .

[@d4sgroup]

Great vid, still would love one of the streetlights you’ve changed 😂

[@TheXeroid]

Never mind taking care of the old chap downstairs Tom. I’m worried about Betty Crocker; she doesn’t seem in a fit enough state to take care of herself. She is a magnet for shoddy itinerant workers. First of all she falls down the stairs with a boiling cup of tea when her one and only RCD trips, secondly she has her ring broken by another bunch of shoddy workers installing a studded wall. Is there no end to this Woman’s misery? She needs help!

[@thomasnagy]

You are right my good sir, she hasn’t had the best of luck.

Could the 'faulty' sockets just need the contacts cleaning inside by inserting and removing the plug a few times?

Or check the test gear leads and "make sure they are Nulled out"

Heh. I’ve got a couple off tall poles for yard light that drop down like that, but they’re made of ex-oilfield drill pipe. Have to substitute a forklift or front end loader for the column-dropper. :)

Genuine question : why do so many sparks only use knips to strip wires ? I'm a hvac tech and I use strippers , and if I do a change out or install or so and I know I'm gonna be stripping a lot of wire , I have automatic wire strippers that do the job so easy it makes the job so much quicker . I mean , using knips all day long is so cumbersome isn't it ?

When I was on the tools, I used snips for stripping cables, with practice I got it down to a fine art.
