What's the difference between an integrated downlight and a 'Can and Lamp' GU10 Downlight?

Recessed downlights (sometimes called spotlights) are popular for kitchens and bathrooms lighting as they are a modern style of lighting. Recessed downlights come in 2 main different forms, you have integrated downlights and GU10 Replaceable bulb downlights. In the trade these replaceable bulb versions are know as 'can and lamps'.

But what's the difference?

Why Extra Garage Sockets Can Make Your Home Safer

Extra sockets in your garage could make your home safer, the garage for a lot of people is a hub for storage, tools, DIY projects, chest freezers and a lot more. Garage sockets are often quite sparse, especially in a new build home. These are often limited to 1 double socket in the garage.

Here's why adding extra sockets to your garage is essential for electrical safety:
 

HELP - Why are my electrics tripping?!

There are so many reasons that the electrics in your home could be tripping the fusebox. 
When I say 'tripping', what I mean is the electrical switches or fuses at your consumer unit are not staying up. You might have heard other people saying their whole house is 'fusing'. 

Here's a few common reasons why a Domestic Electrician in Corsham might be called out to carry out electrical fault finding in your home when your fusebox won't stay on. 

New consumer unit on old wiring? It can get EXPENSIVE!

1. What even is a consumer unit?

Where the electricity comes in to your home you'll find your meter and after the meter you will find your consumer unit. The consumer unit is the box that distributes electricity around your home and in larger properties you may have multiple consumer units. For example, you might have a separate garage consumer unit or perhaps a separate home office consumer unit. 
If you have a meter box on the wall outside your home, your consumer unit is often located close by on the inside but that's not always the case!

Do you use your 'big light'?

How many of you still use the 'big light' in your lounge?

Send me an email and let me know if you usually use the big light or if you prefer side lamps.

Electricians in Corsham are often are constantly carrying out lighting upgrades to peoples homes and many years ago lighting sockets for lamps used to be quite popular and I think they're starting to get used more. I've even put them in to my own house when carrying out my own home re-wiring.

Take Care When Selecting an Electrician!!

Many Electricians in Bath and West Wiltshire are simply not interested in small electrical works. They want the choice jobs, and will drop you like a hot potato when a bigger, supposedly more lucrative, project comes in.

Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.  They thrive on the basis that you don’t understand what they do and, as a result, overcharge for shoddy, and often dangerous, work.

I set up Watt & Co. Electrical in order to fill a gap in the domestic sector. I want to provide you with a quality service that provides you with exactly what you need from an electrician.
