    Flourescent/strip light help if possible please.

    You are being so helpful. Thank you very much for that link. I presume that the light tubes are readily available if the one supplied ceases to work ? Some of the reviews aren't very good, particularly as far as the warranty is concerned. But they have 3 in stock at my local TS and so it might...

    Flourescent/strip light help if possible please.

    Yes. I think that you are right and what you have suggested is the way to go. I never had the cover on the old lamp and it looks as if the one in your link doesn't have one either which doesn't bother me. I assume that it lets more light out without a cover. It would be handy if I could find one...

    Flourescent/strip light help if possible please.

    I wonder if someone would be very kind and tell me what sort of light I have over the bench in my workshop please ? I installed it many years ago and it has suddenly stopped working and I assumed that it would be the "starter". But I have added some images below because I don't know what type of...

    Unusal request probably.

    Thank you for that. I have thought long and hard about your suggestion of trading in the Wife but frankly I think it would be very expensive. She is very high mileage and the bodywork and the chassis are both rather deteriorated and because the MOT (Men Ogling Test) is due very shortly I think I...

    Unusal request probably.

    A slightly unusual question (I think) if I may please ? I spend a lot of time in my home office and sometimes the Good Lady needs me to help her with various things but she is usually in another room. At the moment she has to walk to the office and inform me personally and it is a bit of a...

    Seeing through window film ?

    Many thanks to all four of you who have helped. It is very much appreciated. Because of the situation I am wondering if I might just put film over half of one of the windows. The reason I am thinking this way is that firstly I am talking about a 1st floor en-suite with a moderate sized double...

    Correct testing of small batteries with a multi-meter.

    Time to wrap this up now probably. I'm either going for the BT-168D or the BT-168PRO but I can't find out what the difference is. Can anyone tell me that please ? In any event, thank you all for the help that you have given me. I have learned a lot. The problem at my age is remembering it all !!!
