@Mike Smith01 The average "DIY Multi meter" is high impedance, which in turn means that it can easily read "induced voltages" You will often get an induced voltage (also called ghost voltage) when you have a light(s) controlled by two switches (Typically on a landing, this is called two-way...

What happens if you take this new headlamp out?

Why are you "adjusting" it. What happened prior to you touching it, did it not stop or the over run not work, or something else?

There was Click me I have split the thread, and re-named it. Please post your pictures of Christmas lights here.

I know what you mean. I would go with Binky's idea use one of these Click HERE Oh, and after you have done it, you MUST post a picture ;) Of the reindeer, not the connector.

You have answered your own question You would need to open the "plug" to get to the cable, but it will be welded closed, the only way to open it will be destructive. Some things are not repairable, this is one such thing.

Almost all "Christmas lights" are made for as less money as possible, you would have thought there would be a transformer in the "Wall wart" but they went years ago, often now used is a "capacitive dropper" (Often just a capacitor in series with a bridge rectifier and a few resistors) In some...

It really depends what it is for. As it is not labelled, it is not possible to be specific.

Sorry to say, but last time I looked, washing machines do not have a drip tray or float switch, or flood protection. (Dishwashers do) As the days of washing machines being simple construction easy to fix have long gone they need dedicated people to fix them. To that amends I suggest you look in...

This is just to point out that although you have asked a question e.g. "What does this odd switch do" or "what part do I need" we are electricians, and as such can usually tell you (For example) "what type of cable should be used" We do not know what the "Little black box with a flashing light...

Yes, Click me But most of us print our own (Cheaper)

Welcome. I see you have already found your way round the forum.

Plugs have fuses, sockets don't have fuses. Either way as you have the fuse why not look at it to see what rating it is. Damn, Andy beat me to it.

Just saying, Below is an invoice from Ali-express. It clearly shows how much VAT I had to pay. Yes they didn't used to charge VAT, but they have been doing so for a few years now.

Welcome to the forum

A multi meter is more use with electronics than "electrics" You can turn your fridge and freezer off for several hours with no problem, they are very well insulated to keep the cold in. Just remember you have un plugged them (so you can plug them back in 6 hours later, and do NOT open the door...
