Confessions of an Electrician...

Lisa Miles

So while we’ve not been able to log into the community (you can do so now if you didn’t already know) I’ve been keeping myself out of mischief Blush by going through some of the discussion topics on the old Wiring Regs forum and came across this one: Walking off site where some of you were sharing stories about your experiences with client's pets while on the job. 


So I thought it would be a bit of fun to ask you to share some of your funny/bizarre or just weird stories (keeping it relatively clean and protecting the privacy of others please!) from any jobs you’ve been on or done.


… And I’ll send some swag to the author of the story that gets voted the ‘Most helpful/liked’ from the community so don't forget to hit that 'Good Answer' link on any that make you chuckle! (Log in required)

  • I fitted LED cabinet lighting in a kitchen supplied by not realising that although all from the same manufacturer and looking identical that some were 12 volt and others were 24 volt; and I had mixed them up.


    The kitchen fitter passed comment that one set of lights were a odd shade of white just before they turned purple and went up in smoke.


    The kitchen firm sent another set and I fitted them, we blamed the manufacturer as identical sets of lights had been ordered and it was the manufacturer who had dispatched lights of different voltages.


    I didn’t pay for the replacement lights, so I assume the kitchen firm got another set of lights as a free of charge replacement from the manufacturer.
