what brand and type of halogen fitting is it?

ooh....I was wondering what these 4 pages were about... :lol:

Sorry old fella.... So the answer is...

The switch covers sold by Wilkinson are supplied with self adhesive pads which will cut any possibility of the plate becoming live and the reason you will struggle to find anyone to supply a metal socket cover is for the 'earthing' issue alluded to by young Bernard....

Hi Wilkinson stores do covers for 'switches' in brass and chrome but I don't think they, or in fact anyone else, will do a cover plate for sockets...... Just bite the bullet and go get yourself some fancy new switches and sockets....you'll feel great about yourself afterwards! :lol:

That varilight dimmer was actually designed to deal with minimum loading requirements for a single varilight dimmable CFL but was found to work with the megaman lamps.. The richmond dimmer is a top dimmer but either way you will still be waiting for those lamps to warm up before any dimming...

Hi.. What low load dimmers have you got? Richmond make very good dimmers and I mentioned them because they are the only dimmer that megaman recommend for a product that was originally touted as working with any existing dimmerswitch... The fact that you have to leave the lamps 'for a...

When you say 'correct' dimmer one assumes you must have a Richmond dimmer which is the only dimmer that can make some sort of attempt to 'dim' them....

Your problem is that those megaman lamps are total sh##te.... :)

I just helped an old lady across the road.........she didn't want to cross it but who cares..it made me feel good :)

BAS ....you've already used 200 odd words on this post! :lol: What about the 'pop up' suggestion from BigJon? hand the responibility back to the poster...

GU10 lamps are very 'spiky' when they blow and can easily take out fuses/dimmers etc ...... you were lucky you got 2 years out of them :D 600W in a kitchen!! ... I'd love to see your leccy bill!

Water will boil at 71 deg C on the summit of Mount Everest (8848 metres)...... Is your house on stilts on Snowdon? : :lol:

You may have a compatibility issue between a hamilton knob and a varilight spindle....you might have to ask very nicely for a varilight brass knob

Hi...do you know which brand of screwless product you are dealing with?

Right...press the 'Fn' button on your keyboard at the same time as the 'brightness' icon....normally found at the top of your computer keyboard....hey presto

I would imagine that masking tape left on for 16 hours would probably remove the protective laquer on most decorative metal switch plates...... :roll:

BAS.....what happened between Tues Oct 26 2004 at 8.17am and now? Rather than shoot this guy down like a rabid dog for even mentioning downlights......you offered advice! I have no idea why this topic is back up here....buts its nice to know you weren't always so cross! :D
