Urgh, just got asked to look at a friend's bathroom light and it's some kind of loving weird proprietary bendy fluorescent that I don't know how to detach or find a replacement for. Maybe on amazon or something? Kinda tempted to tell her to pull the thing out and replace it with an LED fitting. A thousand years in hell for the reprobate who decided to fit a fluorscent light fitting in 2012. It's not even a CFT because it has an external ballast that's almost bigger than the bloody tube is.

That was also my thinking tbh, but I 1. have never done that myself and 2. it's a bathroom fitting so more worried about getting it right with earthing etc, and 3. I'm colourblind so electrics terrify me. Will see if I can get a tube for her at least, weird shaped little bastard it is, looks almost like an old electric hob, center mount with the tube running around the outside, will go and look the part number up and see how much it costs and she can see if she wants to call a sparky.

This is the one I got, it's a bit bright for my small bathroom, but it's fully waterproof and double insulated so no earth and I think those type of ballasts are bridge rectified so it doesn't matter which one of the holes you put live and neutral in but also I think you're not supposed to say that (these days, elf and safety, metal dustbins etc)

I don't suppose more light would hurt either.

Also ignore the bit where it shows someone taping two wires together lol, it's not actually that terrible, there's a real terminal block on top. e: ^^ I require stadium illumination for my making GBS threads sudukos. That and it was the only light of roughly the same size that was next day delivery and the previous luminaire exploded while I was using the facilities.

kecske posted:2D CFL, the plastic socket on the luminaires are notorious for perishing from the heat of the lamp so it might want entirely replacing. It's like those, but round, not square. And yeah from the looks of it the thing has perished near the plastic mount, all burned out there where the tube meets the plastic bit. That was sort of why I was thinking a new fixture might be better because fluorescents have so much that likes to go wrong with them.

Absolute shite, especially in sealed bathroom lights. Replaced it with a similar size/shape complete LED unit for about <£20 from Amazon and it is much better.

The MP was actually looking to make sure pornhub was a Christian website by checking to verify it featured same race heterosexual couples on the front page. He watched some of them to make sure they were performing the act in a Christian manner CON+4

You seem far far more comfortable with the right wing upper class criminals doing even more damage and staying in power than me. If that makes me a centrist it puts you somewhere to the right of Thatcher.

How far does this dedication to Getting The Tories Out go? If Oswald Mosely returned from the dead and was unanimously declared the new leader of Labour, would you vote for them to Get The Tories Out?

Voting for labour now isn’t just the horse voting for the knacker. It’s the horse voting to knacker all the other horses, too.
