Hi One of the knobs on my gas hob keeps sticking when on. By sticking I mean once pushed down it does not pop back up by itself. There is no debris of any sort that I can see. I thought about spraying some wd40 on it but was not sure given the whole flammable aspect. Any ideas on what...

TricklyT, Thanks that's really helpful. It make it much clearer. One further question so this means that with my 3x50w bulbs I need a switch capable of handling 300w load? Jeet

Hi, I've got a halogen light in my downstairs Loo (3 x 50w), and wanted to fit a motion switch so that it would turn on when the little kiddies walked in there. However from what I've heard most motion switches don't work with a halogen fitting. Does anyone know if there is a motion switch...
