I know the score mate. Batty hates impact drivers lol I love mine

I like them too but only for certain jobs. NOT for MCB's errrrrr

 

[betty swollocks]

Is that a new type of flood light?

Was it a leakage fault to blame?

I am not bothered when it runs down your sleeve, actually think that it is quite funny AND always laugh out loud! IF however it runs down MY sleeve then I have on more than one occasion beaten the offending luminaire to death with a hammer or other close to hand heavy object

This reminds me of one of my classic customer phone calls:

Customer: "The lights in the Milking Parlour keep tripping, can you come and have a look?"

Me:"Any idea what's causing it?"

Customer:"I thinking it's because one of the lights is laid on the floor!"

Me: "What's caused that then?"

Customer:"I think it's the weight of the water in the light that's snapped the screws!"

Gotta love farmers!

few month ago i opened the cover of a light on a 10mtr pole, and quickly had to move to the side to get out the way of the water

the IP65 light was IP65 at the bottom.... but not the top, even though it looked like it was screwed shut properly

was up a ladder working on shortish lamp post last time I found a fitting like that. The tide mark on the ballast did make me laugh

Been at the base of a column while me mates at the top and opens the bowl full of water all over me !
