Hey all... I have a HW tank that's normally served by a solid fuel boiler. The tank was second-hand and happened to come with a dual-element immersion fitted, but I've never used it. Today I finally got around to investigating the immersion with a view to maybe getting it working, however in...

Hey all... I've been using these for quite a few years now. They don't seem to last as long as I would expect LED's to last. A year... 18 months maybe. Here's the thing: Am I right in thinking LED's only run on DC? Therefore... there's a tiny transformer inside the bulbs, is that how it...
