    YA Series Micro Switch

    CPC order no. SW02707 is similar but operating point is about 4mm lower. If the fixing is adjustable then it could be used. This RS part appears to be equivalent but has extra NC contact. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/micro-switches/8207460

    YA Series Micro Switch

    The Honeywell part YE2RBA2 appears to be the same part. Unfortunately it is a USA part and the minimum order from Farnell is 200 pieces. Otherwise available from Amazon.com at $25 plus shipping! Best deal at Ebay uk...

    LED Lamp - Driver board question

    FWIW If you are happy to overate the LEDs by 20% there is a unit availableon ebay under item no. 164886581739 (12W 34 - 46V 240mA). If the LEDs are only running at 50% rating then no harm should occur except for a slight reduction in lifetime. The Tridonic unit (100V 200mA) will do the job too...

    Most cooker knobs are replaceable and are usually a push fit. And are cheaper than a new oven!

    Flashing 92 led raimond pendant light

    Not an easy task! You may be able to gather some clues by powering up slowly using a variable DC power supply. A dead short would not power up at all so this can be discounted as most of the LEDs flash. If you can raise the voltage to a point where most of the LEDs glow dimly it should be...

    Replacing old doorbell transformer

    Jim asked "How can I tell of those cables which is live to go into the bottom of the new transformer?" Apologies if I have mis-understood the question. I have a similar bell box originally powered by 2 x 4.5V batteries which are difficult to obtain now. My assumption was that someone has...

    Replacing old doorbell transformer

    That wiring made me wince! So dangerous not to identify the live and neutral wires. I hope Jim has isolated the mains supply before touching any of the wires. It seems that Jim's knowledge of electricity is not even at DIY level. Without a voltmeter he could invest in a neon screwdriver to...
