This is why I hate dimmers it nothing to do with being vulnerable devices

Next door's chickens are over three years old now, didn't realise they had such a short egg laying period.

I assumed they were talking phase cut dimmers and wondered where they got 120 times per sec.
As for the terminals, cotton wool and lighter fluid that's a normal loft around here
I still hate dimmer switches
