thanks guys,,,, I thought I was being too clever for my own good,,,, STEVE: I only mentioned that I had 24 fittings/lamps etc,,,, not that I was going to use them all. As per the post, I was thinking of either 6 or 9 for this kitchen. I am now doing a complete re-think. Whilst...

PD: Many thanks. After reading some of the comments on these pages, I am now wondering if 6 or 9 x 35w items will be enough for the job. I may end up using 50w items in the end - so a bit of experimenting will have to be done. unless: there is a chart/table somewhere showing...

thanks BAS: The kitchen is approx 4.8 x 1.8m. It originally had a 60w pendant. I replaced that with a 4ft flouro when I moved in. I was thinking that 6 or 9 x 35w would suffice. (I do have some 50w halogens,,,, but only a couple of 60w trannies) The place is a bungalow - so the...

just to add: Cable runs - from tranny to fittings - would be around 3m in all cases. (reminder: 3 x 35w lamps from each 105w tranny). What size cable would be needed please ?

Thanks Breezer, SERIES: You are totally right,,, although I didn't actually mean 'wired in series',,,, I meant a a single (twin) cable to lamp connector One,,, then on to connector Two,,, then on to lamp connector Three.,,,, rather than a separate cable to each lamp. I'm sorry to lie ...

Thanks - yep - I did mean low voltage (12v) I knew I shouldn't have rushed the post before tea !! I purposely bought 105w trannies specifically to run 3 x 35w lamps from each. All the previous L.Watt stuff I fitted were in 'Kit' form (105w tranny + 3 x lamps + single cable). The lamps ran...

I've just bought some low watt light fittings, 35w Halogen lamps. My brother has LED lamps in his,,,,, apart from the technical bit (LED -v- Halogen),,,, what is the differences between the two ? thanks

Hi, I've bought some low watt downlights, 35w halogens, and 105w transformers. What sort/size cable do I need from transformer to light-fittings please ? thanks for reading,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

yep,,,, I expect to come across one or both at some point there,,,, but would like to explore other avenues as well,,,,, thanks for the reply

Hi all, I'm after a couple of movements for Seiko watches. Bit of a long shot,,,, but worth a try. Models required: 6106-8070 (might consider other 6*** models as some have same insides) &/or H801-5400. Any ideas out there please ? thanks for reading,,,,,,

Hi folks, Wheres the cheapest place (on-line or off) to get a 7" spider / support for my Tricity Tiara cooker please ? As usual - postage is as dear (or dearer) than the item ! The local curry's & Electric Shops used to sell these things,,,,,,,,, thanks

Thanks dave, I came across their site last week & dropped them a line,,,, no reply yet though,,,,,, fingers crossed !

Hi all, I have an old fashioned glass soda syphon. I need to open it to repair the centre glass tube. Anyone know how to get into these things please ? many thanks for reading,,,,,,,

Cheers John, Very informative. "Pints of grease": Of course - even I :oops: realised that. The 'easy to get at' parts aren't the problem - it's just the awkward bits, in & around hinges / handles / catches etc where you can't get brushes / scourers etc. I do tend to strip them right down...

Hi all, I have never used a dishwasher. I am disabled & like the idea of having to get to the sink & wash dishes - to help mobility / pain etc. The problem is that I can't get chip pans very clean ! I tend to strip them down completely to wash in bits - but this takes me 2 days. Even so...

thanks masona, I've had a look on their site & dropped them an e-mail for advice. i'm in West Cornwall, so I hope I can get something down here ! thanks again

Hi all, great site & very informative. I have made a stable door for an old neighbour of mine. I have just got the double glazed panel for it. I am using the wood that I took out for the rebate as beading,,,, but want a sealant of some sort. Is there a specific item on the market, to...
