    Halogen Lamps - premature burn out

    6 months at 6 hours a day = approx 1000 hours. worst case scenario. GU10 mains halogens have, generally a 1000hr life. that's a reputable brand. and that is an AVERAGE life. not a guaranteed life. either you are unlucky, or using cheap unfused imported lamps. Either way, I don't think you...

    Which brand sockets are best?

    GET's Ultimate range has gone a long way to be the first of the new generation. Sleek and easy on the eye, colour coded terminals to help the uneducated, terminals in a nice neat 45degree angled row, screw covers and a range that only MK can beat. Their grid range, dare i say it, is even better...

    COOKER FUSES

    You're confusing them with Federal Lectrician, a company in Birmingham bought all of the old Federal MCB's and as you suggested, have only 10A TP and 6A TP ones left now. I assure you, the Square D QO-E range is STILL available. They are the ones with _(_)_ shaped terminals top and bottom.

    COOKER FUSES

    Square D QO-E breakers are available, the boards may be obsolete, but they still supply the MCBs. Try any Electrical wholesaler, they will have a source for them. you might have to pay over the odds, but hey, cheaper than a new CU.

    low voltage dowlighters

    a) Mains halogen give you approx 30% less light watt for watt vs 12V b) Mains halogen lamps generally last on average 1000hr opposed to a "branded" 12V 50W halogen which will give you between 2000 and 5000hr life c) Dimming 12V sets is much more straight forward than the old "reduce by 25% to...

    Brick lights

    oh ye of little faith :wink: you're obviously using the wrong branch. and these look like the Micromark ones which aren't actually brick shaped! You'll have to chisel out more than just a brick if they are. Some people get away with murder with their products....
