    Where Can I Buy Engraved Dp Isolator Switches

    BG and MK both make them with most things written on them if you use there grid range or failing that most engraving shops will engrave plastic or metal plates for a small fee. It means they all match and you can have whatever you want written on them!!!

    Has Snow Stopped Anyone Getting To Work

    flickering lights

    There's a medium estate nearby but it's mainly offices and so not factories, this shop is about half a mile away and then carry on for another half mile and your on the high st, not a massive 1 but it would still draw some juice until 6ish I was thinking it might have something to do with that

As I had my electrical top on he asked me...

    Am I 17th edition qualified? I passed my AM2 recently.

    If you have your level 2 2330 to go with your am2 then you will only need to take the 1 day 17th edition course. It's actually not to bad and the exam is a piece of pxss as it's open book!!! I don't know weather you need it or not tbh though

    LED Bathroom Lights

    I've installed the aurora 9w on 3 jibs now and just get more impressed. They also do a ip65 fitting and a good 8.5w led lamp for it but it's a little more money. My wholesaler is a big aurora stockist if you can't guess..... They are bloody good fittings thou Or even on 3 jobs.... Bloody iPhones
