Or borrow a dog and let it out to bark like crazy haha. On a more serious note, a photocell connected up and mounted underneath the floodlight would make it switch on and off, or maybe, if there is such a thing (I haven't looked but probably will haha!) a strobe suitable for outdoor use could...

I have just seen on Youtube that photonicinduction is alive and well, he has written a post saying that he has just been taking time out.

When I was a boy, (I can't remember exactly how old) I found a key and decided it must be for the bathroom door. I went into the bathroom, tested it with the door still open, it worked fine. I then went out of the bathroom, closed the door behind me and locked it....ACH!!! Door wouldn't...

Hello, I am just wondering what has become of the ability to "bookmark" sites on this forum? I can't seem to find a button or facility to do it anymore. Regards Stuart

Hi guys, I am very curious to know this, what is a "PEN Conductor"? I have searched on t'internet but can't find an answer. Thanks in advance. Stuart

Good

I didn't mean any offence to anyone with what I said It's just that, while being a very knowledgable person, he can say what he needs to say without being rude, which he does have a tendency to be rude sometimes when there's absolutely no need for it. I will say however, that I do agree with...

Does BAS (ban-all-sheds) have to be so rude?????

I think people are saying that 10 amps is the starting current of the compressor, 150 watts being the running current after the initial surge to start. Stuart

I will stress that I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN but you could try checking the fuse with a multimeter, sometimes you can't see whether the wire has broken, also if you have another fuse in the fuse box of the same rating you could try swapping them temporarily, then you'll know if the original fuse...

That is a good idea IMO, you'd find out then, first use the trick that was suggeasted earlier in this thread though, plug i8n a cheap mechanical timer, then read off what time it tripped before you reset the breaker, then go in at that time the next day. Hope this helps.

Also I have just thought that the computers could be set to turn on automatically after a power failure, although I woul;dn't have thought it was very likely that there would be a complete power failure every day.
