GLS bulb blown in garage, grabbed 20W Phillips low thing, plugged in, fell over dog as could not see it in light from glowworm. Well dog is black. :oops:

squowse Yes they are actually designed to stay on. Lots of times they are turned on and off. Toilets, bathrooms, garage, sheds, security lights, hallway, bedside lamps to give a few examples. Also I quite like to have lights that are dimmable. Low energy bulbs will never be made as small...

The answer depends on the signal strength and if two sets will receive enough signal strength, probably best to use a "Y" connector first and if there is not enough signal strength the best way is a 2 way distribution amplifier as near to the arial as possible (easy if it is a loft arial) and...

Sorry about the delay replying I have moved jobs and do not have access to the report any longer, I was hoping to bore everyone with a link to it. However essentially:- The light output of each type was measured and the MTBF figure from the manufacturers used (not the same as the...

Steve wrote You are of course correct but this is one part of the building regs I am happy to ignore, it was not part of the original intent of the regs. I have yet to find a PL socket + lamp which is as small as a traditional bulb. Make the energy saving bulbs as efficient and...

BoxCleva, I am not sure this forum can be off topic. Ham radio in the USA amateur in the UK. The cards are called QSL cards but have not had one for years, I think the internet killed them generally.

Mine is my amateur radio call sign, won it in a competition and is marginally useful

I don't mind that are "accidentals" and spaced correctly and in the correct font however I saw one in Slough that showed as BILLIE, the last E was a 3 the wrong way round with proper verticals on the Bs. Hope he has a spare for the MOT. Question, what is the correct registration????

Better still the "Daily Mail" is giving away real light bulbs. Yet another case of where the EU has not thought it through. I did a life cycle study and unless these low energy bulbs (discharge type) are left on for at least 7.86hrs a day the cost over the life cycle is higher and the cost to...

The arial group you need is B. However the Redruth transmitter is not up to much hence the problems with digital but the other TV is OK as no problems with analogue. The site to look at is http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=SW690395 which shows quality of the various channels when...

It almost seems like a TV problem. If the small TV with no problems is a digital one try that on the lead that is giving the problems and if it works you have aTV problem rather than an arial one. In fact try it anyway even if it is not a digital one it might give a clue and if possible swap the...

breezer, good idea I wanted to do that but unfortunatly the spring is wound on a rod which although looks like an interference fit in the frame will not come out to alow me to remove the spring which will also have to have ends of the right length to fit into the frame which I can not measure...

What started as anoyance has now become a silly problem. It is only a broken spring on the external flap but when the wind blows it makes a horrible noise. About 7 years ago I had a composite front door fitted steel panels with a central core. This was fitted with an 11.5 inch sleeved letter...

Sorry if this is the wrong place but I wanted to thank you for an old instruction for changing the element on a Creda cooker. And the flicker pictures. The only difference on mine was the thermostat sensor on the back panel which I almost pulled off. By the way my meter is an Avo 7. now that...
