Fitting pendant lighting

[Matt..]

I am struggling to find a good electrician at this time of year for some reason, so am thinking about doing a few things myself. Though have to say i'm a little scared by electricity...! It's a ~100yr old house (though electrics updated and new fuse box a few months ago).

I have approx 8 pendant lights to fit.

Is it easy? Are there any tools/devices i should get to make the process safer/easier?


Thanks

Are they going to existing feeds?

Yes. Just replacing existing lights.

The error you made (and are presumably still making) is it's not enough to throw any switch and hope for the best- you should be using a suitable testing device/procedure to prove the circuit dead.

What device would you recommend?

If i do this myself then i have the money that would be going to the electrician for tools!
