Yes, we did end up in a light house. This one was for the RSPB. Here we were asked to design and construct a 12 volt installation with a generator set so that it was separate to the lighthouse system. It took 2 days to complete but we ended up staying an extra night due to bad weather preventing us from being taken off the island.

The system is powered by six 12 volt Gel batteries to a 240 volt invertor. The batteries are re-charged via the generator. The installation is a scaled down version to the one serving the lighthouse.
"A very different and enjoyable project despite being stranded".
SKERRIES LIGHTHOUSE
SKERRIES TRIVIA
The Skerries Lighthouse is situated to the north-east of Holyhead, first lit in 1717 and purchased by Trinity House in 1841. The Lighthouse was automated and de-manned in 1987 and is today controlled from the Trinity House Operations Control Centre at Harwich.
RSPB
The Island is home to a colony of Terns and other visiting species. All are watched over by RSPB volunteers.

Believe it or not, these huge batteries are just 2 volts each and they take up two floors.
There is also a Photovoltaic array and two huge diesel generators. The lighthouse and all it's functions are carried out by a control system and can be monitored and adjusted remotely.
CENTRAL HEATING CONTROL SYSTEM

Customer had a wet underfloor heating system installed to ground and first floor. He wanted to combine the system with his existing oil fired boiler and also incorporate Solar Heating panels on the roof. He had already bought the parts that he thought we would need.
Unfortunately this was not a ready made control system. We had to incorporate all parts of the system and make them talk to each other.
For example if the Heated water from the Solar Panels wasn't quite hot enough then it would be boosted by the boiler. The water pumps needed to know when to start pumping and when not to pump. Also there was the Valve Heads for the underfloor heating and thermostat controls. We also had an immersion heater thrown into the mix just in case.
We weren't the first electricians to be presented with this challenge, but we were the only ones who accepted it.
Incredibly, it worked exactly as it should first time with no alterations.
It was entirely the customers design and delighted at the result.
THREE CROWNS
The Three Crowns pub converted into Student Flats. Each flat was self-contained with it's own kitchen area and bathroom with electric shower. All heating was by way of electric panel heaters so there was going to be quite a heavy load here. Our customer asked if we could liase with Scottish Power on his behalf, which we did, and subsequently resolved any supply problems.
THE INTERNET

Being a Student Let it there would have to be Internet access for all rooms so we designed and installed a system that provided both Ethernet and Wireless connection.
In addition, each room had there own TV and Telephone connection point.
Automatic Security Lighting and a CCTV system which the Landlord could access via his phone or computer were also installed.
Also installed:
Door Entry and Addressable Fire Alarm System
