Hey mate wondering if you could tell me how I would go about adding a completely seperate power point, is it just a matter of piggy backing off the existing one in the room or have I got to run new wires down from the roof?

Great!!! ❤❤❤ thank you

Where i live it’s mainly non experienced installers who have completed some course, one told me they get $300 per install, need 3 per day to make it pay…

May I ask where is the new cable connected with the existing system?

Hey mate, is the double screw terminal on the earth circuit an as3000 requirment or personal preference? My sparky did not do this in my house, all done with single screw terminals.

Another video of installing an exhaust for the bathroom in an existing light baton would be good 😊

Great vids. Any chance of showing how to wire an isolation switch for a GPO?

If it was up to speed, none of us would be upgrading !!!

This should be a mandatory video for TPG Australia.!!!

Agreat handy video, just the one I'VE been looking for, having NBN in tomorrow to do the change over and as a retired electrician I had a 1000 questions and they have nearly all been answered here thank you

As a licensed electrician this video is scary… too many home DIY’ers watching these things.. I’m glad I don’t work in residential anymore.

More videos please mate they're very helpful for my apprenticeship

What a great teacher

perfect explanation.

Mate, this was a really great explainer! Thank you!

Those AFL connectors putting fusion splicers on the shelf, it's funny how these companies take advantage of the resident not knowing anything about acceptance loss. I figured you lost about minimum .4 dB possibly .6, the contamination was all over plus a good tech would have cleaned out the bulkhead before insertion, regardless. If he had burned on pigtails, could have been less loss, around .2dB, it depends on what kind of upload application you are needing at the residence, so for every 1dB loss is 20%. I did not see what the power meter was reading but a good tech would have had OTDR and calculated all the loss for you to the NBN. Some facilities would never allow those AFL connectors, it's residential so, the hell do they know, If you are paying for that drop, 100% I am sure you not getting the full benefit of that SM.

You forgot to use a ziptie on your socket.

I can't believe that your NBN provided uostreams are only 25mbit on a 250mbit plan. In NZ and the US they're symmetrical for most ISPs.

Awesome explanation, awesome video, well done mate.

Well explained :) Can a two way switch work if the wire to the light originates at the first switch (active in) or must the wire to the light originate at the 2nd switch in the series? If you can what is the wiring configuration in that situation. Thank you.

Hi, thank you for posting this and the drawing. I found this really helpful. Would you be able to add to this by showing how you would add a third switch? I believe a 4-way switch is needed?

Hey mate, when installing a new GPO is it safe to daisy chain from an exisiting GPO or do you install a new circut on the panel? Cheers.

Was your hole drill size larger than the actual Downlight? 90mm Downlight, 92mm drill bit?

Huh????

How much would an electrician charge to do this?

In NZ they appear to use 3 core yellow TPS for 3 way switching, but in Australia we just use twin active?. Is it a new standard like the blue TPS for A/C but it just hasn't caught on here?

Good stuff Bud.. Thanks a lot

I am a visual learner and this made it so much easier for me to understand how it works. Thank you 😊

Hi, Great info! I have similar shitty switches and my wife wants frameless windows (so no trims around the windows). Mounting brackets are the only way to keep the architrave switch in the same place?

Greetings from South Africa. I am grateful for your education.

Such a great video.

NTD mounted on the piss, PCD just slapped on the wall with cables exposed and slapped into the bottom, no corro, nothing neat. NBN is a disgrace, couldn't of made the job any easier for the bloke

How do you put the light back in? You have to squeeze those spring clips together, right? I squeezed the clips together and slipped a cable tie around them to keep them vertical. Working from the loft aka attic, after pulling the downlight through the hole in the plasterboard i snipped the cable tie to release the clips.

I did that.. i have two led lights with two plugs.. but running from one switch, but only the first light switches on and not the second... what am i doing wrong?

Some of these powerpoints come with a red & black wire coming from the USB hub (presumably active/neutral), where do those go?

Why didn't you plug the live wire from the hard active box I to the L connector of the bottom switch ? Because you connected it to the L in the upper lightbulb... I would have expected the same move in the lower example.

Thanks

Thanx mate

Any chance of explaining how to wire a sensor in for out side down lights installed in the eve

Great video mate. I have a faulty light switch from a house built in the 70's in AU however it looks like theyve gone with Switch #2 looping. I pulled the switch away from the plaster and noticed two reds, one going in each port (which i am assuming will go in C and the one beneath, but then there are two blacks twisted together and going into another port. Am i correct in assuming these are currently in the LOOP socket in the old light? Cant really see much on it since its such an old plug and dirty as heck. Reason for replacing is im hearing some static spark when flicking this light on so we've stopped using it until it can be replaced. Thanks

How do you then wire in a switch to be able to switch this plug base off?

I have NBN it’s a joke have the same coaxial cable installed by Telstra 25yrs ago, Told by NBN that I’m a happy Customer, project that’s blown out $85 billion & only 39% Aussie have fibre to the home, Remember Rudd coming out saying it will cost each Aussie Taxpayer $14k to fund, also I approached NBN to get fibre to my premise, under their “Business Segment” quoted, No lie $36000 because the closet DJL Fibre Joint was 1.3 Kilometres away, what a joke waste of money.

It's crazy to me how many people in Australia (myself included) are still not using full fibre. In my case it's only Fibre to the Node and I'm way too far from the Node to get speeds beyond what ADSL 2 was giving. I was complaining about my internet speed back in 2014 and 10 years later it's barely any better than it was.

That's a great presentation. Thanks for that

Mate - only my left works when I do this? But Both works when I turn on both, is there any reason why? It’s a new new Deta power point.

You selected cool white and said You can always change it later? Maybe we could have a video on how? We would never select cool white

Love your videos, really well layed out. Would love to see how you plan and run cables for lights, fans and power points etc. So many sparkies do it differently. Keen to hear how you do it, and your experience with it.

Hey mate is that plugged straight into 240 or do you have a transformer? I’m an apprentice and hardly touch lighting and want to practice wiring.

Wonderful Explain I from Bangladesh
