    Rewiring a vintage light fitting

    Does a vintage pendent light (art deco, I think) need rewiring to be fitted safely? What do I need do to make sure it works with modern wiring?

    Power to garage

    Hi, My garage has what appears to be a partially and likely badly completed electricity supply carried out by previous owner. There's a consumer unit with breakers fitted in the garage which is wired to several lights and plug sockets. I don't see any indication that this is connected to the house and so has no supply. There is an armoured cable coming from the consumer unit and out the garage roof. However, it goes back into the garage and is badly spliced to a old lawnmower cable. I think the intention by the previous owner was to plug this armoured cable into a socket in the kitchen to supply the garage. (Could be wrong but that's what it looks like.) What would be required to make this safe and functional? Thanks
