    Is there a tube holder made for LED tubes T8?

    I'm not actually fitting any LED tubes but I like to be prepared! I cannot find any LED tube holders for a T8 LED tube, they all seem to be for fluorescents so you would have to remove the ballast and also replace the tube holder sockets. Surely there must be an LED holder? One of the threads...

    Philae' Rosetta mission is a hoax!

    Does anyone else think that it's a bit far fetched to believe a probe launched 10 years ago, with possibly even older technology can be shot through space 300 million miles, then somehow 'landed and operated' on a gravity free rock hurtling through space? This is the Western Front Willy...

After shopping around the net I ordered it from a company called 'SimpleLighting', or 'Trade Lighting'. According to their website they do next day delivery if ordered before 3pm...

    Econometer fitting and RCD tripping or not.

    Two things. A man from British Gas came to fit an economiser to my house yesterday. Surprised to see that he used a plug tester to "prove" isolation when pulling the sealed fuse and that he, although presumably not an electrician (he did the gas as well) was authorised to re-seal. If he is ok to...
