@nesparkylad: Thought I'd be cutting the perfect downlight hole... instead I found the centre of the joist first time! 😭 Not every job goes perfectly, and this is proof. We've all had those moments on site where things don't quite go to plan. Luckily it was an easy fix, and the job still turned out spot on. Have you ever done this? Let me know your worst on-site moment in the comments! 😂⚡ #Electrician #Sparky #ElectricalWork #fail #SiteLife
I remember my first time I came across a problem at work I was trying to upload a video on tik-tok. I had bad internet connection, what an absolute nightmare it was

If you use a slimline led that is just shy of the thickness of the boarding and fit snug
