Well that's really nice of you to look all that out for me! ....thank you :) As luck would have it, we lived in Germany (many years ago...British forces and all that), and I went to a German kindergarten! I came back to the uk bi lingual! ....better at German than English for some years...

[/url] That's just what I was trying to say! :lol: .....and how my last comment got posted three times, I don't know!? :oops: Must be our new super speed BT router!! :wink:

Aww bless, thank you! ....but its still working so far!! :wink:

The other ends of the white wires are hidden in some Bakelite.....it's shaped like this ....{ but larger and chunkier! ....and the wires join the terminals at either end of the bulb. ....but the terminals are hidden inside the Bakelite so you can't get to them! :? Does that make sense...

:oops: :oops: ....thank you! :D My dad had two jobs! 25 years in the army and 25 years at fords in dagenham!! ....I had a boyfriend from elm park a long time ago! :lol: I don't want to worry you but I think I might be stalking you!! :mrgreen: ... My niece lives in romford, AND....We...

Sorry for delay! ....busy day yesterday! :roll: I think there probably is a loose connection, but I can't for the life of me find it! :? The problem is that it's nearly impossible to get inside the Bakelite to check properly. .....it's not got a screw. It's more of an eyelet fixing...

AND THERE WAS LIGHT!!!!! :lol: I've got no idea what the problem was, but it isn't a problem anymore! :roll: I bought it in wired it into a plug.....nothing! :( Took it to bits, couldn't see a problem, put it back together again, plugged it in and it worked! Took it outside...

To be honest I think that was the start of the problems with it! I adjusted it, it was working perfectly afterwards, but then we had some seriously heavy downpours and it's not been right since! I think the fuse blew because it got water in it too! .......when I said this to my ex (who put it...

Sadly i don't have any way of testing whether there is power to the light, but there definitely was earlier as when I put the ladder up to it I knocked it slightly and it came on for a second! .....before I turned the power off to work on it! :D The contacts all look fine though! I could...

My ex hubby said that when halogen lights come on they draw a lot of power, and it was possible that a 5amp wasn't sufficient! It blew the first 5amp fuse so thats why he suggested that it might need a 13amp! :? ....that's why I did it! I will replace it with a 5amp again then :)...

Yes it does! :-). I will check that....that's one thing I never imagined it would be! :roll: .....thanks!

Many thanks for that! :D ....presumably then, if I connect up the L to the L and the N to the N in the box the light should function as a normal light?! ...which I have done and it still isn't responding! :roll: I was just about to go down the road to buy a new one when your reply came...

Our outide light has worked well for about a year, since I first put it up, but.....it didn't stay on for long enough, and because it was a minor problem we just lived with it! Last week I finally decided to change the settings on the sensor, ......and now it doesn't work at all! :-P. it...
