    I'm looking for a PIR sensor that will replace a standard light switch but the ones I can find are £40+, which seems a little silly considering you can get a standalone wall mounted PIR for about a tenner. Any recommendations anyone?

    Replace old electric cooker ring control

    My old electric cooker (1985) has 4 rings, 2 of them are always warm when the rotary control is OFF, otherwise the cooker works fine. I expect the ring controls need to be replaced. Do I need a regulator or a simmerstat, or are they the same thing? The rings are each 2KW. Thanks

    Can I use a 12V DC LED bulb to replace a 12V AC filament bulb?

    Hi, I'm interested in this lamp which has a 12V AC filament bulb. It sits in a MR16 fitting, so I was thinking: If I power it with 12V DC instead of 12V AC, and replace the light bulb by a 12V DC LED bulb, it should work. Would it work? Would it be safe?
