"Use my sponge.."
" I will watch you"

what?

think I'm gonna steal your sponge?


and I'm lactose intolerant!

(Not really, just said that for effect!)

Bit like my mania for taking a pic of myself with every kettle I see...
Doctor says I have selfie-steam issues...

Like when I threw a can of Bostik in the bin, die to my gluetin intolerance...

Time for me to head to my hammock...Jabber says I have been overdoing it recently...whatever "it" is...but I always trust his judgement...
he's a parrot, after all

Been to a local bathroom showroom today that is less than 3 months old. I was asked to install several mirror lights into the different bays that they have assembled. Was greeted with this as soon as i lifted a ceiling tile. 600 x 600 lay in grid LED flat panels and this arrangement was above everyone. Asked the manager if they had been provided wih an electrical certificate when it was installed “ erm erm i think its all done in house “, whatever that means. Ended up walking away from the job not as a result of this picture but every bay that they wanted a mirror fixing, tiles were loose and ready to fall off. Told him i didnt want any resulting damage or injurys on my head as a result of any tiles falling. Quite literally thrown up!

I can't quite make it out but is that four conductors into a three way Wago?

Three way Wago? That sounds wrong...

Yes. Not all were like this though, as this one was where an existing mirror light had already been fed from. Although as mentioned every LED flat panel had the wagos above them minus any enclosure.

Showrooms are often terrible, was called out one day to lights tripping MCB, one of the staff had removed a mirror light and had made the wiring safe by taping the L and N wires together.

This was how they wired a load of Click plugs.

That did make me laugh . Perhaps with the Clicks wired that way it was better the whole lot tripped anyway :)

I may need a tin hat, but...
with small cable sizes it might be ok to put 2 into one wago slot, but why do it?
If you haven't any 4-ways...actually 5 - ways, don't think they do 4-way, why not just fly-lead a 3-way and another 3-way together?
Works for me...

I might daisy-chain 2 wagos...but any more and it's just silly.
I was fitting an outside floodlight the other day and used 3-way wagos, cos you never know when you might like to fit another one, but sometimes it seems that every penny is a prisoner...I hate that!
OK, if you are building 100,000 cars a year, every £ makes a difference, but with the prices nowadays, why not just add £100 to each one? Nobody buys them, they lease them, so the extra cost is negligible. It seems it's ok to use a cheap choc-block if it will never be disturbed, but honestly, for a few pence more...
Oh, I'm just tired...ignore me!
