[@effervescence5664]

Having done something like this before (wine cellar), garden rope light into a routed wooden surround just under the glass is a good option, or these days LED strips. Gives uniform light down the well all the way round and no glare, also has the effect the wood looks like part of the support frame for the glass. Just food for thought, great job as always though!

8:35: Nigel says "don't loose that down there", doesn't he realise manhole covers were designed round so that it prevents them from falling through the opening 😁. Worked on Lancaster Castle and there was a well in the middle of the courtyard (outside the new cafe), expect it got covered up rather than made into a luverly feature like this🤦‍♂️. Good work gents, suprised you didn't go magnet fishing though!

[@dsesuk]

We lacked a decent magnet. And string. Also, I'm not sure we really want to fish out whatever's lurking down there. It may be drinking water to Cockney John, but we may have fished up goodness knows what when next-door flushed their loo.

[@gavinhibberd1708]

Gavin - 12 Garden Lighting. Great video again - always entertaining. Collingwood Stainless Steel Universal lights work 'well' in wells. Constant current, remote driver. 3m of cable. I served my apprenticeship at BA many years ago with lots of old boys who had worked on flying boats before the war - if you ever dropped a tool while working on a wing or up in the tail they would always say 'Lucky you don't work on fucking flying boats....' They always tied their tools on a length of string... which was fun to cut behind their backs....

[@CrazySparkie63]

The last time I put lighting in a well (in a bathroom) , I used a rope ladder and a bucket on rope for my tools and went down starkers in case I fell in lol! I ain't shy (I've been told that like you David I'm hung like a donkey) lol!

Can’t believe you had a LAP gu10 in the van, the shame 😱 wonder if the other properties know they got wells in the basement. Be interesting to see if any of those are illuminated.

[@dsesuk]

The LAP lamps would have been pulled out from somewhere; we certainly don't buy them. They'll probably get put in for someone we don't like.

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Id have suggested a tube painted black across the well mounted onto the bottom of the ring with a t point in the center allowing a waterproof pendent to be lowered further down into the well. If I were the owner Id be tempted to get a grabber on a long rope and see if there are any coins or such in the well as given its age there must likely be something there.

[@generaldisarray]

You missed out on a perfect Silence of the Lambs moment, you could have shoved Nigel down the well and done the old "It rubs the lotion on it's skin...or else it gets the hose again" speech...🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jayja45]

What you REALLY need is Le Mark BlackTak. It's a self-adhesive foil tape, with temperature resistance up to 180°C. Used all the time for theatrical and studio lighting.

[@dsesuk]

Interesting. I shall Google such!

[@charlotterobinson9452]

+1 for black tak. I use it all the time and it's great!

[@robputt]

Install Phillips Hue GU-10s in those lights, would be pretty cool to change the well colour.

[@Abbadon2001]

Probably could have used them near top and had the glass lid etched at the edge to hide them enough, easier to reach to change bulbs then?

[@steveosshenanigans]

That’s what I was thinking

[@leonblittle226]

Last time I seen a hole like that in a property was when Fred West had his patio done......................... , I'll get my coat.

[@paulgoffin8054]

If you ever do something similar guys, the one thing you don't have to worry about is a round cover falling through the hole - the reason manhole covers are round is they cannot fall through the hole, as no matter what "across" you take, it's always the diameter which is always bigger than the diameter of the hole. Rectangular covers, yeah, you'll lose those in an instant.

[@joejoe6949]

You and I use the same screw driver finger trick. First time i see someone else doing the same thing.

Did not fail to entertain, well done lads 👏 what was the yellow thing that fell down when you shut the door eh? 32:42 would anything happen with the heat from lamps and moisture to the underside of t'glass top I wonder?

I think it was a leaf Chris! As for the lamps; well we'll see how they cope with their environment.

[@bikerchrisukk]

@@dsesuk Ah, phew! Be interesting how it turns out, mind you, I did a job at a place with a stream running under with glass over. They illuminated and I don't recall condensation. Perhaps some clever whoosh applies a clear film to the under side. Ever get the feeling overthinking is occurring!

[@warrenhawthorne1496]

Hilarious! 🤣👍 Enjoyed that fellas. I've used loads of Lap led gu10s, not had 1 failure in 3 years. Good beam angle, and colour. Are they putting a glass cover over the well? Great feature.

[@dsesuk]

Yes matey, and I'll be sure to stick a picture of it up somewhere on Twatter/Insta. Maybe the new LAP stuff is better; I've just had too many bad experiences to ever trust them again though. Also, I don't use Screwfix much.

@@dsesuk Cool, look forward to seeing that Dave. Yes, I agree with the LAP stuff, it seems to have improved over the years, as it's screwfix/B&Q own branded shit, it's reasonably good these days I think. You watch i'll get 5 call backs tommorow lol.. ;-)

[@FrontSideBus]

Instead of pond lights, a pair of those GU10 "wedge" or conical style luminaires might have looked good here. The type people stick either side of their front door shining down the brickwork. You can get black, white, chrome or brushed steel versions ect. Would be lower profile to the wall but then you lack the aiming capability.

[@damowdotnet]

I'd have gone for smaller, low voltage ones maybe? Run some SELV cables and have a power supply under the plinth?

[@dsesuk]

I'd have preferred SELV myself and the original option I presented was based on MR16 fittings which is what I normally use for garden lighting. The trouble is, there aren't a lot of MR11/MR16 units out there, so then you're looking at something bespoke where the LED is built into the case. Great, if it lasts as long as the claims on the box state, but I've been burned so many times in the past by integrated fittings giving up the ghost before their time.

[@damowdotnet]

David Savery Electrical Services Looks fantastic either way, especially with the masking added.

[@oliverriall]

Interesting fact for you, the reason man holes are round is because you can't loose the cover down the hole. Nige needn't be so worried.

[@stuartarnold9444]

Are you saying that Nige is round?

[@dsesuk]

You'd think someone who I pay in coins would appreciate the properties of round shapes.

[@gordslater]

you can use candle soot (or barbecue/charcoal/coal dust) to darken brick so it doesn't glare so much with lamps up close. Just rub it on the brick *very* fucking gradually and don't overdo it. Rub it on a cloth first and rub the cloth on the brick otherwise you'll end up with streaks

[@zjzozn]

Another dark hole fixed, filled or illuminated ⭐️

[@andrewmounsey5030]

Well, this was a little different from the usual Savery offering of bored swaps. Presumably they are using the Well as a feature (lord knows why, some people have more money than sense but hey ho, keeps Dave a Nige off the streets). As it's a feature Well, I would have gone for some expensive Italian Architectural external lights; it was always going to be impossible to hide the fittings so go for some bling ones an add to the feature. Have a look at iGuzzini for inspiration. Most of the fittings can also be specified with different reflectors and lamps to adjust the characteristics of the output.
