I want to fit them just to provide a bit more air in the house. We currently have 1 in the bathroom and that's it.

I'm going to be fitting some air vents into 3 bedrooms and 1 living area this summer and was looking for the ones i need. I found these passive vents and was just asking if these would be OK? Is it better to fit them high on the wall, or low?? Thanks

Thanks. Looks like I've got a big problem then. I thought If I installed these or brick vents it would improve. It's only during the winter months when it gets bad aswell. Need to do something pretty soon as I don't have the finances to get a tradesman to come in.

It's just that I have no weep holes at all and the damp seems to be pretty much worse on these walls. Do I need airbrick type vents?? Not one room in house, 5 in total have any type of ventilation - absolutely nothing, no air bricks, vents at all

Thanks bud. Can you please explain what weep vents are actually for out of interest.

Hi all, I live in a 1950s Bungalow which has concrete flooring. We have started getting pretty bad damp and mold on some walls and ceilings in the house. I was looking to install a few of these on the exterior walls woth 1 at the top and one at the bottom on the exterior walls a meter apart...

Thanks so much bud, going to buy them at the weekend. When you say the grey wires I assume you mean the 2 small blue/brown wires into the light itself. I really appreciate your help, and everyone else who has chimed in.

Thankyou So I can gp straight into the light with the wires from the ceiling?? Going to go for these

Thanks all. I thought the white boxes were transformers. I'm going for these I think.

Thanks to all. So if I buy the ones from the sites you guys have mentioned is it just a case of swapping out the old fitting and transformer and fitting the light to the live and neutral fitted in the ceiling? I.e., I won't need transformers.

Thanks all. I have 10 of these in my garage but not too sure of them.

Sorry, life got busy and forgot about this. I've attached photos of the existing lamps and the way the wiring is done. I have looked into the below on Ebay which seem to be what o would need as they are double insulated. Would these be ok and just use the current live and neutral wires to...

I've seen these. The only thing i need to ask now is that I only have live and neutral wires going to the current lights- do I just add these to this connector? Assuming the earth wire on the fitting is all that I'd needed and that I don't need to connect an earth wire too which will be a pain...

Could I just swap these out for GU10 fittings which are double insulated and therefore if a lamp goes in future I don't have to remove the fitting but the lamp itself. Or could buy 230v double insulated led fittings without transformers.

Hi all, I want to change my existing kitchen spotlights as below: I'd like to change them for ones without transformers, maybe even GU10 fittings or even the same type which are 240v - can anyone let me know which ones I could use? Thanks Lee
