    Why not use a latching relay to power the headlights instead of two regular relays?

    I was wondering why why not use a latching relay to power the headlights instead of two regular relays? It seems less complicated to me.

    Existing dimmer switch wiring in attached picture. Hot and neutral in, ground wire, extra red wire that, I believe, carries the signal voltage. This controls a dimmable LED overhead light fixture with only hot and neutral wires. I want to replace the dimmer with a normal, single pole light...

    How many of you use a Leatherman or similar multi-tool or EDC on a regular basis?

    Idly wondering if many use such a tool... I find mine very useful for odd tasks, and a godsend for certain others, like when you are back up the ladder and you need a knife/file/scissors/small screwdriver. Many are one-handed operation and give you just the tool you need from time to time.

    Clap on/off light switch that can be used inside a regular switch

    Has anyone done this before? Its a gimmick I know but I always wanted to do it. I can see some sound activated switches but nothing that specific to claps, unless its a DIY one. I dont see how a DIY clap switch can go into a wall.
