Fitted a few of the black consumer units from lewden.. nice boards

Flash back to the 50s and 60s when many fuse boards were black not mat, not gloss but a sort of soft sheen black

Lewden do the black board I did an unpacking of 1 what they gave me to test The only problem is its a lawden board but still cool to use for a customer

Just ordered one of the lights after seeing you use it thst day in your unit

If you wanted there is a spray paint called simoniz vht paint wich will do around 800 degrees before melting

You should Try Different Colour's from Black & White Try a Red or Yellow (Powder Coated) etc, go well in a Trendy House

Honestly if Verso boards become Navitas colours with the black and green I'd be inclined to fit more of them just because they'd stand out. Especially if the breakers etc are black too.

Interesting video, because it highlights one of the many differences between countries. Over here in the Netherlands, most consumer units are actually black plastic, and they don't typically come with a lid. And that means that the breakers, which are all white, really stand out. Not that colour or lids would matter much, since they're hidden out of sight in the meter cupboard, anyway.

Great idea, Nick on painting the fuse board maybe the suppliers might decide to start making different colours,, just wondering if Unilite would bring back the speaker, , 🔈. SP-4500 Work Light 45W , I really like mine. But Fortunately l got my stolen when the van got pinched . ⚡️👊

Thanks Nick, it is interesting to watch. A few things though,. Will you hurry up and put a hand rail up on that mezanine level? I don't want to see face-dive the unit floor. Also, in relation to the fire extinguisher tubes, I use intumescent pads with self-adhesive pads at the rear knockouts. Regarding the issue of whether painting a CU is okay, I would say, not that I agree with it, that a lot will say the same as using mixed manufacturers in a CU..... it isnt type tested with that paint so you take ownership of it.

Yo While She Sleeps!!!! Great band!

There’s a bloke that does blasting and powder coating really cheap up at Bednall (not the first place opposite the 7 stars, further down towards Buxtons).

Leiden do make a black one, it would be nice for more manufactures to bring more out, it might stop people cramming them into cupboards if they looked decent

No handrail on your stairs!

you can buy BBQ/wood burner spray paint, which is fine up too 650c. although i cant imagine youd have any issues with the one youve done

I think BG and Lewden make black boards

Sorry Nick, Proteus has already made one.

Nick....think about it ...boards are pressed metal boxes , thats all..with basically little differences between them...And they aint even waterproof ... if fact any metal box might do 👍

I thought that, but apparently they have to be type or conformance tested to comply with regs, so you have to use the manufacturer’s enclosure…. don’t ask how I know.

Brake calliper paint ? Much higher temperature rated paint But also any modifications outside of manufacturers guidance will surly void any liability and put it all on you On a note I’ve painted a few in the past to the customers request

I'm sure the paint or power coating is irrelevant for the fire protection. I think the metal structure is the key to it, same as red rust protect for steel beams

Google says powder coating can withstand heat upto 550’c and there’s a spray paint called rust-oleum which can withstand upto 750’c.

Need a hoover or extractor for the blaster m8

No. The blaster is a closed loop. The sand falls and gets reblasted...

@codenamenel

Ай бұрын

@@PearsallEu you can get a filtered extractor that sucks all the sand dust out of the air to clear up the visability inside the blaster, but still keeps all the sand in the closed loop

If you're concerned about fire ratings of the paint you can get high temperature paint for like wood stoves etc. and that should have no problem. The number of times I've seen Electrical gear painted in the US drives me nuts because once it's painted it's no longer the beautiful gloss powder coating and then you just end up with layer upon layer of yucky paint because everybody comes in and says it looks gross let's give it another coat of paint and then you can't get the door open because at some point It ended up getting painted shut. This is usually a problem with the receptacles as there's only a set number of colors and the interior designer can't stand that white doesn't go with everything and somebody installs Cream or ivory yuck. Gray and black aren't bad but those are more expensive because it's used more for industrial. Where was it going oh yeah the outlets get painted over and over and over sometimes you can't get a plug in there, and because we use thin slots it just sucks the paint in.

sorry to disappoint you we were black facing DB's in the eighties for theatres and studios , nice try
