    Security Lights

    Can anyone suggest some good security lights to get? I wonder if they come with alarms on them as well? Or possibly with a machine gun attached so that the b*stard that's stolen my tyre TWICE will wear the f*cking thing when he goes for a third time! Thank you kindly!

    Installing a Yamitsu Switch Box

    I wasn't thinking of there being a fitting problem, but i'll check if they do fit or not............. I was actually thinking that the appliance may not work properly if the outlet is for 1mm sq and I put in a 0.75 mm sq?? Am I wrong? Thx
