Noticed across the board, since the turn of the year gotten quieter. However last week or two things, seems to be picking up a little. I'm a fitters / kbb industry 👍

Consumer unit upgrade and BG just don’t go together - it’s like fitting remoulds to a Lamborghini

Also lad c3 on that cooker hood spur behind chimney local isolation not accessible for cooker hood other wise good job

How is 0.24 under 0.8 ?? Huh

Collingwood H2 lite are my go too, great for swap over jobs as it’s very compact with a nice so bezel so pretty much fits in any size hole. Dim with a V-Pro, perfect every time

I have the poe one connected to a poe switch. The issue with Reolink cameraas and this one in particular, is the lack of exposure/ backlight setting when dealing with part shadows and light. If your door is facing an over exposed area, you can't see any faces. That's why they are cheap!

Love that wallpaper man

JCC fire guards with megaman gu10’s with a v pro dimmer simples😊

Hi Jack Good to meet you at elex show thanks for the time for a little chat. As you know I'm at the hospital and we are always busy. I can't see the domestic side getting any better any time soon but I hope your your benefit it does

Telecoms (splicing and testing) in ireland and fortunately we've never been busier. Hopefully things pick up jack big up man

Work is slack mainly because of the morons in no 10 , people are fearful of their next stealth tax

What does the black spiel mean

Aurora/Enlite lamps and a V-Pro dimmer everytime. Never had an issue.

Go on big lad! Work hasn’t been bad here but like you say it’s just bitty jobs. Few big jobs, big quotes and re-wires but not every week! Always gets like this around this time and towards Christmas though! Big up ya self!

Hi Ya . Is it possible the dimmer can be at fault for flickering ?? rgds Don

Thanks for the shoutout-glad you’re loving Tradify!

Hi, are the GU10 lamps you are using compatible with leading and trailing edge dimmers or only one or the other? This was always an issue even with incandescent when dimming became popular, check compatibility of lamps to method of dimming maybe?

NOOOICCCEEE! Good to see you back Sir, and hope business picks up for you soon! I can't comment on how work is as I'm not a tradesman. BIG UP YOUR SELF Jack! Take care! ❤ to you and your family!

I'm a commercial electrician doing schools/offices mainly (started out in new houses) and a lot of electricians (commercial) are telling me it is a bit quiet my next door neighbour delivers for a builder's merchants and has said it has quietened down on new build sites and is delivering more to smaller builders doing extensions etc. Northamptonshire area

It’s probably the dimmer as well check if it’s leading/trailing might help. Also. Megaman FTW

Megaman lamps eveytime no issues

Good to see you back. The drop off could be due to holidays and people putting off big jobs. I hope it picks up for you soon.

Sparky in Leicester. I'm a 1 man band . Mainly domestic. I'm busy as hell. No massive jobs but still busy. I also subby to another company and book in a weeks work with them at a time. I can see it going to the dogs by Christmas

So many issues with sealed fittings, so gone back to JCC cans with GU10 LED lamps, MegaMan lamps with BG dimmers have been 90% ok, Found the rich customers are still spending, but the everyday customers less so, never had so many million + houses on the job list at the moment, North to East Yorkshire

Great video. We lurrve a bit of waffle vid. I'm an Improver, there seems to be more commercial, as that is what I'm doing. Getting to improve myself with domestic work is almost impossible with an electrician, which conflicts with my NVQ, yet another extension coming up. Ahhh, flickering dimmer. I've done a couple of jobs with this issue. Defo the dimmer, as it wasn't compatible with the lights, one of which were chandeliers with candle LED's. I just swapped for rocker switches, it was just easier for the client and cheaper. I think it's the load that is the issue. Dimmers have a minimum load requirement 🎉

V pro dimmer on Collingwood integrated lights. Rexels own make are Collingwood too.

We don’t fit anything but integrated down lights. We tend to use the ksr colour change units as we never have problems with them. We have slowed a bit but same as you busy with smaller jobs and commercial stuff. I think your right people are worried what’s coming

What areas do you cover mate? Im kidderminster based and looking to get some work done for my photography studio I'll be opening. I can't trust any electricians in my area.. 😂

BIG hammer small tap can fix most flickers... hehe.. Was about to make a shrine to you as it's been a while... ;) BIG up to you as always you LEGend.

Another vote for the aurora gu10 used with a bg dimmer no problem

Bell gu10s always work great for us on dimmers. We have seen residential work slow down but government and commercial work we can’t keep up with it at the minute

Love you Jack. Big yaself up. Xoxo

I usually use Aurora ice dimmable GU10's, and v-pro dimmer module, and have had no problems so far. Also recently tried using one of the new BG LED dimmers with them, also worked fine. Have also used megaman dimmable GU10's with the v-pro, again no issues.

Think a lot are struggling for money at the moment and they cut back on work and improvements. Depends what happens in the budget next month, but I think energy costs are going up again that month as well, just before winter!! I am industrial and down about 20% this year, from last, but that one was down 25% from previous year anyway. Just have to ride things through and see what happens. 👍

American Sparky here... They say the new construction side is suppose to slow down but it's not there yet. The remodel side definitely isn't slowing down. I've modeled my company to try and do a bit of both but we mostly do remodels and service work right now.

aurora lamps and Vpro's never had an issue installed probably 1000's

Brother Jack, I hope things improve for you. The political situation in both the UK and the states is in flux right now. It makes it hard for people to open their wallets for much less than rent or food. I really enjoy your videos. They help keep my spirits up.

I work for BT as a fixed network engineer in the exchanges so I’m not in the trade as such but have always enjoyed watching your videos. BT as a business are screaming out for ‘Power’ engineers at the moment so there’s an option if you thought about a change? Unsure on your area specifically but worth a look maybe? Love the videos as always!

I once installed LEDs onto a standard high voltage dimmer back in the early days of LEDs. When you turned it low they flickered like you were in a rave

Work shit atm …. Everything slowed down .. like you we got work but nothing “big”

Only fit lamps and cans, aurora lamps with click dimmers, never had an issue

Good vid also big man

Haven’t fitted can lights for over 5 years now …. Don’t think Lucas has ever fitted them at all mate

the screw is to comply with the LV electrical equipment safety regulations, live parts must not be accessible without the use of a tool (it's also why there's a cable tie slot on wago boxes, as wagos are removeable without a tool) We've been run off our feet lately, start of the year was DEAD (sparkies in the south of england, gosport/fareham/southampton) but now the phone won't shut up We use the 'switch' LED downlights from Rexel, CCT switchable, 2700/3500/4000k if i recall, and 8/10w switchable, 5 yr warranty/ I have found the dimmable GU10s from Screwfix are pretty reliable, the part number is 463PP for cool white. Sorry if this sounds patronizing, but are you using LED compatible dimmers (trailing edge)? Some dimmable LED lamps can handle the old leading edge dimmers, but a lot can't. For lower price on integrated LEDs, rexel also do a nice collingwood one for about a tenner, also colour temp and wattage switchable. Not sure of the wattage Not sponsored by Rexel, they're just our handiest local supplier (Shoutout to @sotaelectrical, who also habitually stalks the same branch, EV specialist)

Hi jack, I'm using aurora ice dimmable lamps, and my goto dimmer v-pro. Still using cans, I leave the decision to the customer. About 50/50 split. JCC for integrated fittings. Busy, but not flat out.

Big up ya self jack ❤

Hey Jack,obviously I can't comment on lack of work personally as I'm semi retired from my trade but I work part time in Morrisons and we are mobbed every day,I think the cost of living has a big impact and people are mainly concerned about eating and bills etc so that electrical or plumbing job that they want done just has to be put on the back burner till the new government budget is announced so they know how much spare cash they will have,hope things pick up for you big pal, those lights are great,so easy to install,I'm sure Zoe will get off your case now,I'm sure she knows how good you are she's just using insults to get results like most women 🤣big up big pal 👍

I'm electrasafe GB ,just north of London ,Been out on my own 30 years and never had it so slow

Ansell prism pro with v-pro dimmer or Quinetic dimmer works really well.
