I'm a bit late with the Christmas wishes but I'll get in early with wishing you a festive New Year and a great 2016

I'd be unlikely to get an RR obsession because she doesn't grace our TV screens and also I've had an EC obsession for a couple of years now.....she's just a yum especially parading around in her full Certsure outfit....yum yum!!

If you've had it once I could well believe you wouldn't want it again......did you seriously have TB?

There's some weird fungal infections you get from bird shyte, kinda similar to TB I think, maybe get yourself checked.

I'd suggest you may be better making your inquiries into staff actions by PM with an Admin rather than by public discussion in the actual forums.

Glad it worked out, I was worried you might end up with an oversized thread.

Just about any gland that fits the cable diameter you're using will do. Something like this http://uk.farnell.com/te-connectivity-amp/16mm-grey/cable-gland-pa-10mm-m16-grey/dp/1174593

I quite like the retro/industrial/steampunk kinda thing if it's done well. I also like brass so it's a winner for me.

I think having regulations designed around combating blatant stupidity and incompetence is not the way to go, stupidity and incompetence is always going to win and you end up with regs that make the non-stupid majority suffer. I'd cite the requiring of steel CU's as an example.

Hey, leave the Dread Pirate out of this!! But he wants to have lighting control if the wi-fi goes down, keyswitches alone won't provide this, he'd need to run around the house and replace all the hue lamps with normal lamps so I didn't understand the point, basically he'd be reversing the entire...

Not sure because I haven't seen the fitting but use a plug with a 1A or 3A fuse. Is there any holes in the backplate where fingers or foreign objects can get in? Not sure if it would be safe but that's the colours, black would be live and white would be neutral. You need a gland at the cable...

I did, a couple of times but maybe I'm not understanding what he's trying to do in that case.

Yeah, they're very gimmicky with few practical uses and  but if your struggling to find things to spend your money on and paying between 15 and 50 quid per bulb is no problem then it's definitely a must-have........ **edit** No offense to the OP.

The Zigbee lamps or bulbs as you call them require the light switches to be permanently on or bypassed so the lamp has power all the time regardless of whether it's illuminated or not. The switching, brightness and colour tone is all controlled internally in the lamp itself according to...

Ahh, I thought you might have been thinking of tapping it with the condenser still in, I'm not so worried if you can see all the way through the hole. I'd suggest buy yourself an M6x0.5 stainless steel nut and bolt if you can find them at your local fixing suppliers and try using those first...

I'd be a bit wary about running a tap into the hole, it's a one way street where you might easily end up with the thread being too large for the screw or you might damage something internal with the tap as it goes in. I'd suggest you persevere freeing it up using fingers and some light lubricant...

I don't understand how installing keyswitches is going to help, Hue lamps (bulbs) have a permanent supply already so If the mesh network goes down because the Zigbee hub fails the only way you can get your lights on would be to replace the actual lamps back to something that's not network...

Chances are there was a fault and when you made the circuit live you've caused more damage. You're lucky in a lot of ways, you've still got a full compliment of fingers and eyebrows. Doing stupid things like that can also cause fires or take out the DNO supply leaving your neighbours without...

Yep the thread diameter is within tolerance of M6 and 0.5 is the finest pitch you normally find in M6. Was it stripped or seized/stuck ?

Not sure I'd hit it with a steam cleaner unless you're very careful not to get water in the termination box. We usually remove the fan cover and blades and clean the motor manually then corrosion treat as necessary. Both motors are good makes so I'd probably go for the motor that's most...
