Does anyone know where I could get hold of a 700W high bay fitting? I need the circular type with a reflector to replace a faulty unit. My customer is not interested in converting to LED at present, just wants the failed unit replaced.
I haven't done any testing yet - too dark and too knackered - but:-
there has been no change to the circuitry since installation
there are four separate circuits each having both fluorescent and halogen and/or tungsten. The fluorescents are switched separately from the other fittings

Hi there.
I am looking for a lighting track system to install on a Dutch barge I am renovating.
Must be low voltage. The electrics on the boat will run directly from deep cycle leisure batteries.

Im fitting some light fittings from the US with an inbuilt PIR.

Hello,
We are going to fit tilt downlights in a vaulted ceiling. I am well aware that draughts can come through a tilt fitting which is seated in the roof space of a vaulted ceiling of an extension.

I got some free fittings from an office clear out recently and was thinking of using them in my small office. My question is will they be ok for use? One of the twin ones says to only use one tube but I really want two in there. Is there any obvious reason why the sticker should be on there as...
Anybody fitted any of these yet? Appears they have a detachable connector, greater lumen output than the JCC6, and slightly cheaper than the 10.
