    Security Bits

    No keys left anywhere, it's not that special a bolt. A design plan fitting I took apart the other day had the same bolts. We've been changing lamps over the years. We've always managed one way or another, but 80 fittings / 240 bolts is a different matter. It may turn out I'm over worrying if...

    Security Bits

    I'd guess the holes are a little under 3mm I've not seen it yet, but boss says some can be saved with just a new diffuser, (which we have) so need to take apart - non destructively. The end caps that hold the diffuser in are screwed on with three security bolts. Impact removal

    Security Bits

    Hello folks, It looks like I'm getting a fire damaged section of Carpark to repair. Problem is all of the existing ligh fittings are assembled with security screws. The screw head has 4 drilled holes in a square pattern. I don't have the hole centres at the minute. In the past I've Managed...

    Unidentified Potentially Live Cable.

    We were taught at college that a multimeter must never be used due to the possibility of setting it incorrectly, or misinterpreting the display. That apparently is the hse stance, along with the whole GS38 test leads and safe isolation procedure.

    Remote Cintrol Light Switch

    On off, I saw the vellerman kit earlier but it had 2/5 star review somewhere. The Phillips is nice but too dear - I guess. See what he says tomorrow. No that's no him, maybe in a couple if years. Currently 6 foot 4 and not a picking on him :-( Mine just points and grunts, hardly walks...

    Remote Cintrol Light Switch

    Thanks steps, My mistake, he sits on the computer all night then leaves the light on when he goes to bed. Too lazy to walk the 3 - 4 m to the light switch near the door. I think the best option is a slap, but that's inappropriate - apparently. Maybe just two way or pullcord two way. I'll have...

    Remote Cintrol Light Switch

    On off - lol His dad has actually just text with pull cord next to his bed. I suggested a bedside lamp - apparently he'd leave that on!? Youth if today :-( Trying to keep the cost down, but he'd probably pay to have iphone controlled lights. Minimum dimmed load is probably a problem as only a...

    Remote Cintrol Light Switch

    Evening, Lazy nephew wants a clap activated on/off light switch. Alternatively a remote control switch. The clappers I've looked at are American and or badly rated. The remote ones are mostly dimable. I've told him that he'll need a dimable lamp if he goes for that option, at extra cost...
