Unidentified Light Years box and lighting under floorboards

[bcoles]

Hi,

I live in a victorian mid terrace, with original raised floorboards. On either side of the lounge, running from plug sockets to under the floor boards I have grey boxes made by a company called Light Years. When you power them on a light lights up. What is their purpose?

Thanks

B

Could it be related to this?

Is the box quite dense, or heavy? If so maybe a transformer? Are there any output terminals? Bit more info and a pic would help.

Is what the title of this thread says correct - that the light which comes on is under the floorboards? A photo of one of the grey boxes may help someone to assist.

Kind Regards, John

Think he may mean an indicator light on the box

Early 12 volt 50va toroidal transformers used to have an indicator neon built in to indicate mains power as well as a 20mm fuse mounted on the supply

Lightyears was a supplier Afaik back in the 80's

That's certainly what his OP seems to imply. However, the title of the thread says "...lighting under floorboards" - which doesn't sound unclear or ambiguous!

Kind Regards, John

Maybe the lounge is not on the ground floor.

maybe they are wall lights or something and someone was undecided if they wanted them or not after a refurb and just left them under the floor as a temporary measure

Maybe the Borrowers installed them.

We need PICTURES. Are there any words, numbers or symbols printed on the boxes. Any labels near them that may have fallen off the boxes.
