my hubby is an electrician, IBEW 102
the exam to enter the electricians union here is difficult, lots of algebra, some calculus.
he had taken engineering classes in university, so it helped him greatly

How do I connect them to a light socket so it comes on when the lights do? the 2 wires on the light socket are black and red - Ive connected them with permanant red and black on the fan with no joy.
It doesnt need to be earthed and can go on a lighting ring according to the packet - but HOW ? thanks
Try flipping them round.
Or better, get a circuit tester and find which wires are live when switch on and switch off
Or better still, get an electrician and maybe save your life

I'm returning to the UK soon after having spent the last 20+ years abroad. I have a lot of 110v kitchen appliances I would like to take home with me. Is there any way for an electrician to run a 110v line to my kitchen, or will I be stuck with 220v?
You can but a transformer that you can plug in to a normal powerpoint that will take 110v up to 220v. This would definitely be the cheapest option. Here is a website that sells them. http://www.salestores.com/powerb33.html
