What do Electricians do on a bank holiday monday

[GMES]

As per title;
My Last day off work will consist of a bit of breakfast , followed by 30 minute clear out of my van cab, quick hoover and clean.
Lounge about talking to you Bum's , then a few cheeky beers with possibly a Dvd, followed by talking to you Bum's a bit more then a reasonably early night, ready to spring into action in the morning.
What about you lot.

I gave the shop some samples so they could see the color and difference in brightness. They have gone for the Everyready 3w (35w equivalent) cool white with the 15,000h/15 years* (*= based on 2.7 hours use a day). Cheaper than the others but saved them around £700 on the other samples they saw.

Another main point is the amount they are saving on their electric bill. £15k over 5 years!

GMES I think a LED thread would be a great idea, would help us lot in making the correct choice of expensive lamp in the future.

I've created a stickie in the tools and products forum for led lighting.

Not used that particular one Paul i recently fitted 10 of 1200x600 flat panels to replace some really old switch start t8's it made a massive difference to the office, and the customer is really impressed.
I cant remember the wattage without digging the paperwork out! but they were something like 50-70w per panel.

It was a 2 week trial to see if he wanted to take me on board, after the first week he said come sign a contract and I'll get u in an apprenticeship, so happy days

Well done Chris arty: Keep us all informed how it goes. Hope that little bit of experience in that bar/club helped you on this site? Same again though, lights lol.

Looks like HT saved us a job, i will try and dig some spec's out Paul as promised. I have also got a costing somewhere that the wholesalers prepared for me the savings were phenomenal.

Hi Chris I'm glad the job went well for you,sorry i didn't get time to pop in and see you, just been busy. And i am really glad you seem to have got an apprenticeship out of it.
Can you just explain the line i have highlighted as i cant understand it, but that could just be me!

You know I'm training and I am working with a qualified spark, I just meant that once he saw I could cut the hole bigger and wire them in that in the end I had put more in than him, he was mainly doing the emergency lights until he showed me how to wire them then I did maybe 7-8 emergencies, but I mainly did the normal lights
I just meant when a person is the apprentice the other person can get them to do what they want, hence more lights than he did but he was doing other stuff
