This is part of an article in the PE mag. It has been printed in more than one. I don't know why you would do that. Perhaps the lights were fed from a centre tapped supply...

It doesn’t make a lot of sense that, you’d have thought that some editor worth their salt would have picked up on it. If the downlight can’t work then . . . . ?

We fitted 9 of that range of downlights recently,2 were dead out the box, not even a brief flash or pop at first switch on. One of the 2 replacements was dead too. 2 had faulty LEDs the other had faulty electronics.

I thought that they had sorted this failure out shame really as it is not doing their reputation any good at all more than likely it is the driver when we have had high branded LED fittings before it has always been the driver.

A couple of lads I know have been left to sort this lot out, they've only got a six hour window and it all has to be done with no service outage. Started off as a quick DC PDU swap and sort of got a little bit bigger...

That's roughly 500 fibre optic cables badly installed...

I’d go for an Afro comb and occasionally back comb it - plenty of conditioner with a warm water wash.
My second suggestion - put the floor tiles back down and leg it!

or just get a bag of cable ties.

Funnily enough the floor tiles are back in place!!!

That's had a proper job done it

Don't mean to be glass half empty, but I think they will struggle to improve that lot without service interruption. Love to see outcome

These pointless labels are still being fitted to samsung stuff, found during appliance testing, the first on an IEC lead, the second on a VGA cable. I first started seeing these over 6 years ago. I would have thought someone at samsung would have stopped them by now.
