Great idea, I might actually do that since it'll only take a fraction of time painting however I think red colour might be much more eye-catching than that, don't you think?

Come on guys, where are the replies?? I am guessing Saturday night is a good time to ask for advice on diynot.com :D

Done that, there's still quite a few people who do trip which is scary because if they hurt themselves....let's just say it won't be good for business :shock:

Hey friends The title says it all :D I need to paint about 6 ceramic tiles on the entrance to my shop with red gloss so that the customers will notice the step. This is my first time doing such thing and it would be great if you could give me some advice on this, for example Dos and Don'ts...

I see, that must be why I can turn the lights on when I turn on the switch in the fuse box slowly. It will be very costly to split the lamps into to sets as that would require changing the wiring in the ceiling and since I only turn the lights on once a day I think I will put up with them unless...

Well to be honest with you I bought them off of ebay and they cost me around £120. The LED's have a total wattage of 432W, the fluorescent lights had a total wattage of 420W so the LED's use a total of 12W more which should not really cause the fuse to trip. What do you think? :lol:

6 refers to the number of fluorescent lights and 70 refers to their wattage so 70W. That is a total of 420W and the total wattage of the new lights is 36 multiplied by 12W which is 432W so I don't know what is making the fuse trip?

wow the last bit makes no sense whatsoever!!! what I mean to say is that"....that leads me to think that they cause the problem with the fuse what do you think?"

The reason behind my suspicion is because they heat up quite alot, not as much as halogens though and also I had 6x70W fluorescent light before which I now have replaced with 36x12W led lights but sometimes when I turn the lights on the fuse jumps and I have to go on turn it back on from the...

Here's a picture I should point out that they are very bright (around 800 lumens) and im pretty sure it is 240V as it is connected straight into the mains.

No it is not written on them. Well the reason I bought these lights is that I thought they used less electricity than my 50w Halogen lights thus saving me some money and being environmental friendly so I want to make sure that I was not ripped off :roll:

Hey guys Question I have recently bought these led lights which are suppose to be 12w but I am not sure if they are 12w and suspect that they use more than 12w! Is there any way that I could find out if they are 12w or not? Thanks for your help in advance :mrgreen:
