    Sensor / security light

    The other ends of the white wires are hidden in some Bakelite.....it's shaped like this ....{ but larger and chunkier! ....and the wires join the terminals at either end of the bulb. ....but the terminals are hidden inside the Bakelite so you can't get to them! :? Does that make sense...

    Sensor / security light

    Sorry for delay! ....busy day yesterday! :roll: I think there probably is a loose connection, but I can't for the life of me find it! :? The problem is that it's nearly impossible to get inside the Bakelite to check properly. .....it's not got a screw. It's more of an eyelet fixing...

    Sensor / security light

    To be honest I think that was the start of the problems with it! I adjusted it, it was working perfectly afterwards, but then we had some seriously heavy downpours and it's not been right since! I think the fuse blew because it got water in it too! .......when I said this to my ex (who put it...

    Sensor / security light

    Sadly i don't have any way of testing whether there is power to the light, but there definitely was earlier as when I put the ladder up to it I knocked it slightly and it came on for a second! .....before I turned the power off to work on it! :D The contacts all look fine though! I could...

    Sensor / security light

    My ex hubby said that when halogen lights come on they draw a lot of power, and it was possible that a 5amp wasn't sufficient! It blew the first 5amp fuse so thats why he suggested that it might need a 13amp! :? ....that's why I did it! I will replace it with a 5amp again then :)...

    Sensor / security light

    Many thanks for that! :D ....presumably then, if I connect up the L to the L and the N to the N in the box the light should function as a normal light?! ...which I have done and it still isn't responding! :roll: I was just about to go down the road to buy a new one when your reply came...

    Dulux sued because its BRILLIANT WHITE paint fades to yellow

    I have always used and preferred gloss, but I have to say that I went in to one of my customers houses the other day and he has used dulux satin wood and Im converted now! .....It looks amazing 8) Luckily I haven't had time to re paint our yellow mess yet and I'm going to use this instead...

    Dulux sued because its BRILLIANT WHITE paint fades to yellow

    You are absolutely right! :? ....... Unfortunately though there can never be adequate compensation for something like this, ....because as you say, the 'correct' order of painting then laying new carpets / flooring, cant be undone now. I'm really glad I didn't pursue it with them having...

    Paint yellowing over a month problem

    I was at a customers house earlier (im in soft furnishings, curtains, blinds etc) and they've had loads of work done recently .....complete renovation. I mentioned to them about the widespread paint yellowing problems and they seemed to be wise to it!! - theyve had the same problem in the...

    Paint yellowing over a month problem

    Thanks :D .......I'm still as confused as ever about the lid colours though, I've re read the threads again and I'm still sure it says in them that the blue lids are the new and modified ones!?! :oops: :roll: .......I will just avoid dulux I think!! :wink: :?
