Fair play, that "Myself" guy should get a raise with all that work you're making him do! 😂 Great video. I really appreciate the logical process you work through here. I'll try to save myself the heartache next time I feel tempted to jump head-first into a job!
I bought a house and found similar messy garden electrics. Slugs in junction boxes, regular twin and earth exposed to the elements, lamps full of water. I removed all the accessories back to the junction box (after replacing them) and manage to get >500m ohm IR somehow!
😂oh dear 😳 had a few swimming pools on garden lights repair jobs 😂 Always amazing to see how badly there done sometimes. Good work fellow sparkie brother br happy to do a link up sometime 😊😊
i remember a certain time served spark making the same feck up on the roof lighting of an office block on canary wharf the thing is with swa that small you can make it off with a tiny amount of bare strands anyway ,why did they feel the need to strip 3 inches lol
Nice one John, thank you. How often are you having to splash out on Megger leads, which aren't cheap........ or durable! Have you considered getting a Kewtech set instead? Are you aware of the WISKA Shell Box? They're mini gel filled Wago connector box filled with gel so you don't have to fill the A.B. with gel. (I bet the amount you used got costly) They're IPx8 so well up to even fully buried
After sorting it out you should convert it to low voltage AC LED with a magnetic transformer so that GFCI failures never occur again. I have a pool light fixture that gor wiring damaged from lightning. The GFCI failed unsafe (energized) and after replacing it the tripping was constant. Now installing 12V AC incandescent 300 watts, magnetic transformer with a dimmer.
Great Video John, you certainly picked the best day for gardening 😂
Love your giggle when you find ridiculousness, reminds me of the chefs kiss meme you used to do with Rueben 👌

“What’s the IP of a rock?” 😂😂
Nice film John and well done. 🍻👍👍
That gel looks very satisfying to use😂
These new “waterproof “boxes are really amusing!
Nice job John, someone had certainly made a mess of installing that.

I'm with David Savory on garden lighting, for which he only uses 12VDC to avoid all the risks and degradation that can occur with mains systems.

The white flex cable is not rated for being buried in the dirt . Or am i wrong? I never seen a white cable that is rated for being buried outside.

Is the megger 1711 a good tester? Would you recommend it?
yay! new (to me) video!

Also wiska boxes dont last so gel is a good idea!
that under rock jb surprised me, i expected it to be full of slug stew
Surely that’s acceptable to have cables in those locations and is that just a white flex I can see going to the lights
Probably woodlice eggs. Irrigation and shite electrics - what could go wrong?
Slug or snail eggs btw 🐌 😦
Resin join if cable short
The gel things are slug eggs
You could sell them eggs in that box to Netflix 🧐🙂🇮🇪☘️
Have they never heard of IP68 🤣
Oddly enough...the box that looked the worst , from the outside ,, was,nt
"No animals were harmed in the making of this film"... or were they?
