My wife was always complaining that there was nowhere to sit in the garden because it is on a constant slop. So I built some decking... Then my 5 year old complained that he had nowhere to play in our garden. So using off cuts from the decking I concocted a plan to build him a play...

I know what not to use... LoL. (see my thread here) The CP Electronics KH3 or KH3N (Specs Here) definitely doesn't work with LED without having to add power factor correction because it has no neutral connection. I'm wondering though if the CP Electronics MRT16-WP (Specs Here) will work...

When I search for a 4uF capacitor they all seem to be "motor run capacitors". Will this work? My local Maplin has a 3uF Motor Run Capacitor http://www.maplin.co.uk/motor-run-capacitors-440v-30309 or a 4.7uF "Audio Grade" capacitor...

They definitely can't be pulled out. Perhaps it's due to the suppressor being only 0.1uf. Since I can't find another one bigger that's available locally or for less than £5 delivered I think I'm going to pick up a 120w halogen tomorrow and fit it instead.

No, it hasnt changed anything. It still blinks at the same rate. The only thing I have just thought about is that the legs of the suppressor might not be thick enough to "latch" into the Wago connector. But they certainly weren't noticeably loose when I installed it, so its a long shot.

In the JB there are Wago junction blocks/connectors. One Wago is... Switched live + Live (to light) + Longest end of the contact suppressor. Another Wago is... Neutral (from light) + Neutral (back to supply) + Shortest end of the contact suppressor. Theres the same for earth obviously...

I got a contact suppressor from Maplin http://www.maplin.co.uk/contact-suppressor-498 which is 0.1uf with a 100 ohmn resistor in series. It doesnt appear to have changed anything - although its installed in the junction box rather than in the back of the light fitting. Does it need to be in...

Hi, I've read these forums quite a bit as a guest and got the help I needed. I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with my own question now. On the exterior of my house I have 3 PIR Security lights and have recently added a 10w LED light attached to a time lag switch that will...
