so it's exciting time Dan's still with us and we're going to open down a cardboard box now
you can just see the hundreds of thousands of views i mean you're going to get for this one
we're going to open a cardboard box and who sent us this cardboard box ah you're good friends at
TLC you're good friends at TLC as well so TLC make the Quinetic's range it's their own range
isn't it it is yes and use a lot of Quinetic stuff on your YouTube channel grid we do yes
yeah for our garden lights and stuff like that and last time you were in with us you brought some
into play with didn't you yes yeah um wireless switches uh key fob switches yes i love the key
fob yeah it's a good bit of kit it's probably the thing we sell the most of to be honest yeah
so it makes electrician's life easier because we haven't got to take cables back to switches garden
lighting being your thing yeah meaning that's the the difficult part is actually not going to splay
out into the garden but you're having a switch in the right place absolutely yeah people don't want
to be chopping out the walls in their freshly finished kitchen to put some switches in for
garden lights so because generally garden watches last absolutely so you get the house brilliant and
then you decide to do the outside room don't you yeah yeah okay so in this box they've promised me
there's something new that i haven't had before and as i i've had it about a week now and i was
a little bit nervous because if i opened up and didn't know what it was i'd be going
aha so your expertise is going to come in in this section here you stitch me up yeah absolutely 100
so to keep um homage to uh Chris from CJR Shop it's away from your thumb towards your
chum so i'm going to be pulling it away from me and joe always gets nervous at this stage
so let's open the box and see what we've got so wait from your thumb oh that's that
way then on it towards you chum okay so here we go is it Nicola that sends the stuff is
is that what i've got in contact with is it Nicola yes i believe so yeah right oh no
do i get a love in there do i love Nicola no regards best regards oh wow there's more
than i thought there was going to be in there it's exciting okay let's have a look then so
you can talk me through some of these sort of things then let's have a look um yeah
okay i haven't seen one of them we'll leave that until last year i think it's a wi-fi enabled look
yeah wi-fi enabled lamps yeah let's have a look so we've got i don't know how these are going to
work apart from the fact that obviously i'll turn them on from so there you go qr code yeah so i'll
take it on a scan that will turn what i need to do there's some instructions in there for people
who read instructions do you read instructions okay so we've got that one out so that's good
switch oh yeah good switch that other one that must be part of that then okay cool
so we've got so we've got the grid frame so that's trying to prove the point is it yeah so you just
have a standard grid switch that is cabled in what make would you say it's MK MK so we've got an MK
grid switch here so that's a normal one that we use the MK Logic here all the students will be
on the camera so we use the MK Logic range um in the workshop but the one next to it isn't so
that's the one that the example being matched the pelvic lights in the kitchen yeah stuff like that
yeah that you can't get back to the actual switch itself and you can get back from them so you've
got one of those and one of these so what's this in this looks different before okay so that is
basically one of these a switch with the receiver built into it oh so that's just one of these but
it has all the goblins built into the back of it so whereas before you would wire the receiver
into the light and then have this yeah you could use that in place of the switch
so i go to my switch at home so my son's bedroom good example now so my son's bedroom
is here and got a switch that does one light if i then decided that okay i want to go for several
switches in the room the fob and everything else i take your switch off yeah i only use
the feed and switch line yes yeah no neutral yeah neutral goes in connector yes and now all
of a sudden because i've got this receiver i can pair loads of other switches up
yeah you can yeah so i ain't got none loft you haven't got any loft you haven't touched the light
yeah do you use a lot of them i've used it once to put an additional two way in that's
what i'm thinking so yeah so the fobs i've got at home yes so we could have that switch
on the wall and then the fob just learn around the bedroom yeah so what we've got to do now
is obviously the receiver is in the back of this switch and we've got it activated so we can pair
another light switch one that doesn't have cables doesn't have batteries how does it work then dan
uh kinetic energy it works on kinetic energy so we think we press and hold this for six seconds yep
it always seems longer than you think done it so we're we're waiting we're waiting
okay so if you press your switch now and again there you go so if you do your one i do that
one off shut the front door so we've got two-way switching we've changed the conventional one-way
switch we've installed a kinetic switch with a built-in receiver and now i can screw that to
a wall in say a kitchen bedroom wherever and the person's got within 30 seconds two-way switching
is that the future or what but we might want two-way intermediate are we going to
attempt to two-way yeah we should so one of these switches also Quinetic one yeah
okay you do that one in four stacker will this stay paired i'd like to hope so there we go
so when that one comes back on we know we're in pairing mode huh okay all right
so now if i do this cool so yours works yeah is it in shot so yours works that one works
behave yourself behave yourself life is not that simple so all those times i've got the
learners that are out there in the audience doing a one-way job like we've done there three one-way
switches and we do two-way then we just two-way and intermediate yeah we only need to do a one-way
switch and introduce other switches yeah that's incredible it's kind of redundant isn't it wiring
general electricians or just just efforts in general redundant i think that's amazing so
thank you very much to Nicola from TLC and effectively Quinetic who sent us in those
and there'll be some more videos coming up with Gary going this is amazing this is amazing oh
cheers guys thank you
yeah we used it um it's cool so we went in after someone else had wired a kitchen
and they wanted a two way by the back door so we put a two gang version of this
existing switch and then then a two gang version of that at the other end
wow yeah it's too easy now isn't it there can't be any money that came out
so you're not spending a day dragging cables in you're sort of in and out within a couple of
hours so uh so so so the people in the audience so let's just think about that you've got a one-way
lighting circuit and the person wants a two-way lighting circuit and we don't need any cables
we're just going to screw that to the wall that is mad and just put another one
our lives just got incredibly easy so we'd like to thank Nicola and the team at TLC and obviously
the Quinetic range for bringing those we'll have a play around with the wi-fi enabled lamp
because we're both a little bit unsure about that one but this this is amazing there's
there's something in that in there to be able to two-way lighting and
circuit in seconds yeah without any hassle at all so thank you very much
