QUOTE(iamsobloodysick @ Oct 7 2022, 07:36 AM) In my house all the lighting points have 2 wires connected as one. What’s the reason behind this? Why didn’t the developer just use a higher gauge wire? It is called looping and is meant to save cost. For high-end bungalows, I have seen the owner opting for 1 MCD = 1 point. Meaning, if the house has 50 lights, that would be 50 MCBs! Expensive but some people are just willing to spend on safety. |

QUOTE(Chiggah @ Oct 7 2022, 09:10 AM) Anyone have ideas on how to tidy up this unifi fibre cable? See image Just curl it slowly. Don't bend it. After that, use a cable strap to secure it. U can buy those from Mr DIY or Daiso.The cable is quite tough itself. |
