    Comment by 'thecladder' in media '2D 28 watt electronic ballast'

    Hi everyone. Im having trouble with the 2D 28 watt light in my En-suite. Its about 18 months old and cost around £90 so I dont want to bin it. It started playing up about 3 months ago where it took longer and longer to come on. You flick the wall switch and it might take 25 seconds to start now...

    45 Amp shower pull cord switch life expectancy.

    I`d imagine if anyone has a water meter fitted it wouldn`t be 20 minute shower then followed by the wife and kids every day, you would easily see a 5 minute shower gets you just as clean, less water and less electricity. Ok so some people can afford it and don`t worry about the costs but lets...

    45 Amp shower pull cord switch life expectancy.

    Thought I`d just have a final say on this. I thought my son was a one off taking 20 minutes to have a shower but it seems at least 2 contributors to this post take that or even longer. How can anyone spend 20 minutes in a shower. My son is still in his early 20s so Im thinking raging hormones...

    Thanks for your reply also. No Ive never retightened them but will do asap now. Its not recessed, its in a box that sits into the bathroom, its about 3"x3"x2" deep. There is no lagging above the switch, we just removed some floor boards in his loft and could easily see the cables. As for...

    45 Amp shower pull cord switch life expectancy.

    Yeah its always the neutral wire. The last switch did have 2 screws per connection and that failed after a year, it was from B&Q, I was advised to buy MK as they are better quality but it only has one screw per connection, I bought it from Screwfix last week. So now its a MK Pull cord with the...

    45 Amp shower pull cord switch life expectancy.

    Wow, first thanks for the rapid reply Scoby_ Beasley. This did cross my mind as well but I thought it was that damn tight it wouldn`t move. I suppose if it gets warm, cools, gets warm cools constantly its expanding, contracting as well. I will give it a fresh tightening up this weekend, I cant...

    Make an old acrylic bath shine again.

    I'll give the brasso a go next time its dulled down, the klear wax is still looking good meanwhile until it starts getting scratched with a loofah or something. So does it make the bath slippery with brasso or not? The klear wax doesn't but sounds like the brasso could be a long term better...
