I'm a spark that's been away from the trade (off the tools) for nearly 20 years. I've taken early retirement from my job as a maintenance manager & I'm thinking of starting up on my own as an electrician. I don't need to earn a lot of money - are the start-up problems too much hassle?
im looking at making one of these if i use a 9v battery and use a 9v buzzer in sieries with 9v light i assume , what problems can you see with this.... maybe finding 9v light and holder ???? cheers T.
