      That’s why I love them for soffits especially as sometimes you can actually fit them in UNDER a roof joist and it wont touch it still. It’s only 50mm deep

    Nice little job there Sean and good to see the smiling Christmas Elf back too. 🤣
    Never used Ricoman DL's... always go for JCC V50s, especially for soffits. Touch wood no issues so far. 😒
    Oh, and that ugly mug... it's one only a visually impaired mother could love... especially as it heads out the door for the very last time. Boom... boom. 😂
    Great video as always.

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  Před 2 lety +1

      I don’t mind the new v50s but after all the trouble with the first batch it kind of puts me off them a bit. I usually use E6 pro’s. But I love these being only 50mm deep.

    Nicely done again mate. I generally use the ener-j receiver when I’m doing soffit jobs and put it in a wiska 607 to keep it free from any dust or damage but was nice to see it being done with a quinetic and wago combo.
    I’ve actually got a soffit job coming up and will be filming it just waiting on the client deciding how they want it switched whether it’s by a cell, receiver or just manually by changing a 1 gang to a two gang in an upstairs bedroom
    Is it just me or at 4.00 was there some Irish writing on that joist 👀

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  Před 2 lety +1

      Yea the enerj is nice too, much smaller receiver as well I’ve used them a few time too. 👌🏼 can’t wait to see yours

    How do you measure up to make sure you miss the joists did you measure it up from inside the loft

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  Před 2 lety +1

      this one was a bit harder, first hole was a pure guess and hope, then once I can see it from inside I can measure them. Usually you can see where the soffit boards have been nailed to the joists so it’s easy, this however was plastic over boarded on the old wooden soffit so no clues.
      Should it ever cock up, I carry 70mm soffit vents that I can just put in the wrongly cut hole, but never happened yet 🤞🏻

    Which wholesalers generally stock the quinetic?

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  Před 2 lety +1

      Quinetic is TLC’s own brand so you can only buy it from them, they deliver it usually next day from their website. There is a few other brands that are pretty much identical tho, Ener-J being one and that’s in a few wholesalers such as Denmans. Enerj receiver is a LOT smaller too and will fit inside a standard Wagobox if needed.

    Very tidy job Sean, thanks for showing that quinetic gear I've never seen it before. We have a job coming up where getting switch wires in would be a pain in the rse and we're going to use Philips hue lamps and switches but will use this now likely the grid switches. Can you link two receivers to one switch as we are going to have the outdoor lights run off different circuits. Cheers

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  Před 2 lety +1

      Yep, you can link up to 10 switches to one receiver and I think an unlimited amount of receivers to one switch 👌🏼
