    Lighting puzzle

    I always consider the polarity change to be an American thing, so more burgers than Germans. Polarity isn't such a problem on modern ES holders. There are 2 safety features to prevent problems. 1) The metal is enclosed so fingers can't touch it. 2) There are 2 thread rings. The one close to the...

    USB Sockets

    Earth question - Shaver socket

    Considering shavers had batteries since the 80's ? And RCD's have been required on most circuits for a while, These things really are a joke. At least this is getting a bit more modern (with USB sockets) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266995066861

    LED tube replacement

    If they can't replace the those fittings, add some decent ones inbetween. (on a different switch). Don't bother to turn the old ones on! They should last then, for the inspections
