    Weird cables - Swapping Mains Fire Smoke Alarm

    Okay, very valid points, but the question I was trying to get an answer to was why is this one so much better than the angel? Our angels selling substandards, then they seem like they’ve been around for awhile

    Weird cables - Swapping Mains Fire Smoke Alarm

    Can it connect a network via Wi-Fi and have notifications the same as angel? On my phone? Also can I mix battery operated ones with mains ones? What so wrong with angel out of interest?

    Weird cables - Swapping Mains Fire Smoke Alarm

    Just to say, I’m not planning on mixing, the two smoke alarms are to be removed in preference with the fire angel ones. I would hope since they are network WiFi ones then they will have no bearing on the previous old system which is 15 years old?

    MR16 LED Light Bulbs to replace halogens won't work

    Oh I see then just use the same mains cables from the one I have already? I see the link is for the 24W? so my original calc of 15W was right and this is well within this range? Is that why you have suggested it? Thankyou!

    MR16 LED Light Bulbs to replace halogens won't work

    Hi there, this sounds like it might just do the trick? It's not from a dimmer at the moment (maybe in the future I will change it) not necessary at the moment so I won't worry about that aspect. So you say I need to search for a transformer with a 12 volt constant voltage LED driver? When you...

    MR16 LED Light Bulbs to replace halogens won't work

I'm replacing standard older halogen and wanted to use LEDs but for some reason this is still happening. I've looked above the kitchen unit and can see a transformer? Is...
